Correct answer: D

  1. Identify the frequencies present in the light wave

    The magnetic field is B=B0[sin⁡((3.14×107)ct)+sin⁡((6.28×107)ct)].B = B_0\left[\sin\left((3.14\times 10^7)ct\right)+\sin\left((6.28\times 10^7)ct\right)\right].B=B0​[sin((3.14×107)ct)+sin((6.28×107)ct)].

    Comparing with the standard form sin⁡(ωt),\sin(\omega t),sin(ωt), the angular frequencies are ω1=(3.14×107)c,\omega_1=(3.14\times 10^7)c,ω1​=(3.14×107)c, ω2=(6.28×107)c.\omega_2=(6.28\times 10^7)c.ω2​=(6.28×107)c.

    Given c=3×108 m s−1,c=3\times 10^8\ \text{m s}^{-1},c=3×108 m s−1, we get ω1=3.14×107×3×108=9.42×1015 rad s−1,\omega_1=3.14\times 10^7\times 3\times 10^8=9.42\times 10^{15}\ \text{rad s}^{-1},ω1​=3.14×107×3×108=9.42×1015 rad s−1, ω2=6.28×107×3×108=1.884×1016 rad s−1.\omega_2=6.28\times 10^7\times 3\times 10^8=1.884\times 10^{16}\ \text{rad s}^{-1}.ω2​=6.28×107×3×108=1.884×1016 rad s−1.

  2. Find the corresponding frequencies

    Using ν=ω2π,\nu=\frac{\omega}{2\pi},ν=2πω​,

    for the first component, ν1=9.42×10152×3.14=1.5×1015 Hz.\nu_1=\frac{9.42\times 10^{15}}{2\times 3.14}=1.5\times 10^{15}\ \text{Hz}.ν1​=2×3.149.42×1015​=1.5×1015 Hz.

    for the second component, ν2=1.884×10162×3.14=3.0×1015 Hz.\nu_2=\frac{1.884\times 10^{16}}{2\times 3.14}=3.0\times 10^{15}\ \text{Hz}.ν2​=2×3.141.884×1016​=3.0×1015 Hz.

  3. Photoelectric effect depends on the highest frequency

    Since the light contains two frequencies, the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons will be due to the photon with larger frequency: νmax⁡=3.0×1015 Hz.\nu_{\max}=3.0\times 10^{15}\ \text{Hz}.νmax​=3.0×1015 Hz.

  4. Calculate the maximum photon energy

    E=hν=(6.6×10−34)(3.0×1015)=19.8×10−19 J.E=h\nu=(6.6\times 10^{-34})(3.0\times 10^{15})=19.8\times 10^{-19}\ \text{J}.E=hν=(6.6×10−34)(3.0×1015)=19.8×10−19 J.

    Convert to eV using 1 eV=1.6×10−19 J,1\ \text{eV}=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ \text{J},1 eV=1.6×10−19 J, so E=19.8×10−191.6×10−19=12.375 eV.E=\frac{19.8\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}=12.375\ \text{eV}. E=1.6×10−1919.8×10−19​=12.375 eV.

  5. Apply Einstein’s photoelectric equation

    Kmax⁡=hν−ϕK_{\max}=h\nu-\phiKmax​=hν−ϕ where the work function of silver is ϕ=4.7 eV.\phi=4.7\ \text{eV}. ϕ=4.7 eV.

    Therefore, Kmax⁡=12.375−4.7=7.675 eV.K_{\max}=12.375-4.7=7.675\ \text{eV}. Kmax​=12.375−4.7=7.675 eV.

    This is closest to 7.72 eV.\boxed{7.72\ \text{eV}}.7.72 eV​.

  6. Check options

    • A: 6.82 eV6.82\ \text{eV}6.82 eV ❌
    • B: 12.5 eV12.5\ \text{eV}12.5 eV ❌ (this is approximately photon energy, not kinetic energy)
    • C: 8.52 eV8.52\ \text{eV}8.52 eV ❌
    • D: 7.72 eV7.72\ \text{eV}7.72 eV ✅

Hence the correct option is D.
