Answer:

1.41eV

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy of photoelectron(K. Emax)

E = Wo + K.Emax

E = hc/ λ

h = planck's constant = 6.63 * 10^-34

c = speed of light = 3×10^8 m/s

λ = 400nm

Work function (Wo) = 1.70eV

1 eV = 1×10^-19

E = [(6.63×10^-34) * (3×10^8)] / 400×10^-7

E = (19.89 × 10^(-26))/400×10^-7

E = 0.049725×10^-19

K.Emax = E - Wo

K.Emax = (0.049725×10^-19) - (1.7×10^-38)

0.049725×10^-19 interms of eV = (0.049725/1.6)×10^-19 =

K.Emax = 3.11eV - 1.70eV

K.Emax = 1.41eV
