Solution
Wavelength of silver, λ1 = 3800 Aº
Wavelength of ultraviolet light, λ2 = 2600 Aº
H = 6.63 × 10-34 Js
Velocity of light in air, c = 3 × 108 m/s
To calculate kinetic energy, K.E. = hv − hvº
`"K.E."="hc"[1/lambda-1/lambda_o]`
`"K.E."=19.89xx10^-19[1/2.6-1/3.8]`
`"K.E."=(2.416xx10^-19)/(1.6xx10^-19)`
K.E. = 1.51 eV
Hence, the maximum kinetic energy emitted by the photoelectron is 1.51 eV.
