detailed solution

Correct option is A

Kmax=hv-ϕ0=hv-hvo=hcλ-hcλ0  where λ0= threshold wavelength   or 12mv2=hcλ-hcλ0  Here, h=4.14×10-15eVs,c=3×108 m s-1λo=3250×10-10 m=3250A0λ=2536×10-10 m=2536A0,m=9.1×10-31 kghc=4.14×10-15eVs×3×108 m s-1=12420eV\AA∴ 12mv2=1242012536-13250eV=1.076eVv2=2.152eVm=2.152×1.6×10-199.1×10-31∴ v≈6×105 m s-1=0.6×106 m s-1
