UV radiation having a wavelength of 84 nm falls on gold metal, to which electrons are bound by 4.82 eV. What is the maximum velocity of the ejected photoelectrons? No need to use relativistic formulas in this case, so you can just use the standard formula KE =12mv2. The correct answer is 1.87E6 m/s how do I get that?
