Accepted Answer

The correct answer is (C) 0.3



Explanation:

Work function (W) = 6.63×10-19 J

Planck's constant (h) = 6.63×10-34 Js

Speed of light (c) = 3×108 ms-1

Maximum wavelength (λ) = hc/W

= (6.63×10-34 Js × 3×108 ms-1) / 6.63×10-19 J

= 3×10-7 m

= 300 nm

Therefore, the maximum wavelength of the photon required to remove a photoelectron from the metal is 300 nm.
