When monochromatic light of wavelength 620 nm is used to illuminate a metallic surface, the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted is 1 eV. Find the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectron emitted (in eV) if a wavelength of 155 nm is used on the same metallic surface. (hc = 1240 eV-nm)

In case 1, E? = 2eV; φ? ? = E? - KE? = 1eV
In case 2, E? = 12400/1550 = 8eV; max.KE = 8eV - 1eV = 7eV
