The work function of caesium metal is $2.14 \; eV$. When light of frequency $6 \times 10^{14} \; Hz$ is incident on the metal surface,photoemission of electrons occurs. What is the
$(a)$ maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons,

$A$ photoelectric material having work-function $\phi_0$ is illuminated with light of wavelength $\lambda$ (where $\lambda < \frac{hc}{\phi_0}$). The fastest photoelectron has a de Broglie wavelength $\lambda_d$. $A$ change in wavelength of the incident light by $\Delta \lambda$ results in a change $\Delta \lambda_d$ in $\lambda_d$. Then the ratio $\frac{\Delta \lambda_d}{\Delta \lambda}$ is proportional to:
