Q.

When photons of energy 4.25 eV strike the surface of metal A, the ejected photoelectrons have maximum kinetic energy TA and de Broglie wavelength λA. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons liberated from another metal B by photons of energy 4.70 eV is TB = TA-1.50 eV. If the de Broglie wavelength of these photoelectrons is λB=2λA, then
