Question:medium

Radiation of wavelength 200 nm is incident on a photosensitive surface of work function 4·2 eV. The kinetic energy of fastest photoelectrons emitted from this surface will be close to :

Show Hint

Memorize the value of \(hc\) as \(1240\text{ eV}\cdot\text{nm}\). This constant allows you to convert any wavelength directly into photon energy via simple division, eliminating the need for slow multi-step scientific notation calculations involving \(6.63 \times 10^{-34}\) and \(3 \times 10^8\).
  • 3·5 eV
  • 3·0 eV
  • 2·5 eV
  • 2·0 eV
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D
