Detailed Solution

Wavelength of incident light,
λ=412.5nm=412.5×109n
Energy of incident light
E=hcλ=6.63×1034×3×108412.5×109=4.82×1019J
Since, the energy of incident radiation is greater than the work function of sodium and potassium, but less than that of calcium and molybdenum, therefore, photoelectric emission will take place in sodium and potassium.
