The correct answer is:
Total energy of any photon is given by the relation :
Where, Planck's constant
Velocity of light
wavelength i.e,
Thus, and, energy of ejected electron
,
where,
mass of electron
velocity of electron
Thus, total energy of photon Binding energy of electron
+ energy of ejected electron
Thus,
