Q.

Light  of  wavelength  1824 Å,  incident  on  the surface of a metal, produces photo-electrons with maximum  energy  5.3  eV.  When  light  of wavelength 1216 Å is used, the maximum energy of photoelectrons is 8.7 eV. The work function of the metal surface is (approximately) in eV. (use hc = 12400 eVÅ)
