Detailed Solution

Energy of photon (EPhoton)

= work function + kinetic energy absorbed = W0+eV0

Where, e = electric charge

V0 = stopping potential and eV0= KE, i. e. energy required to stop the ejection of electrons.

EPhoton=hcλ

=6.626×1034×3.0×108253.7×109

=7.835×1019J

=7.835×10191.602×1019eV 

EPhoton=W0+0.24eV

W0=4.65eV
