In a photoelectric effect experiment, the threshold wavelength of light is 380 nm. If the wavelength of incident light is 260 nm, the maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons will be
Given E (in eV) = $$\frac{1237}{\lambda(\text{in nm})}$$

$$E=\ \frac{\ 1237}{λ}$$

$$ϕ=\ \frac{\ 1237}{380}\approx3.26eV$$

$$E=\ \frac{\ 1237}{260}\approx4.76eV$$

$$K_{\max}=E−ϕ=4.76−3.26=1.50eV$$
