If the work function for a certain metal is $3.2 \times 10^{-19} \ J$ and it is illuminated with light of frequency $8 \times 10^{14} \ Hz$,the maximum kinetic energy of the photo-electrons would be (given $h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$):

  • A
    $2.104 \times 10^{-19} \ J$
  • B
    $8.5 \times 10^{-19} \ J$
