The surface of a metal is illuminated alternately with photons of energies E1 = 4 eV and E2 = 2.5 eV respectively. The ratio of maximum speeds of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases is 2. The work function of the metal in (eV) is
When radiation of frequency 8 x 10^14 Hz is incident to Calcium which has 4.3x10^-19 J work function, calculate the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons leaving the calcium metal.
