An electron and a proton are separated by a large distance. The electron starts approaching the proton with an initial kinetic energy of $3 \, eV$. The proton captures the electron and forms a hydrogen atom in the second excited state. The resulting photon is incident on a photosensitive metal with a threshold wavelength of $4000 \, Å$. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron? (In $eV$)
