The study of photoelectric effect is useful in understanding

The surface of a metal is illuminated with light of $400 \ nm$. The kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons was found to be $1.68 \ eV$. The work function of the metal is ............ $eV$ $(hc = 1240 \ eV \ nm)$.

When a photon of energy $4.25 \, eV$ strikes the surface of a metal $A$,the ejected photoelectrons have a maximum kinetic energy $T_A \, eV$ and de-Broglie wavelength ${\lambda _A}$. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons liberated from another metal $B$ by a photon of energy $4.70 \, eV$ is $T_B = (T_A - 1.50) \, eV$. If the de-Broglie wavelength of these photoelectrons is ${\lambda _B} = 2{\lambda _A}$,then:
