In photoelectric effect an em-wave is incident on a metal surface and electrons are ejected from the surface. If the work function of the metal is 2.14 eV and stopping potential is 2 V , what is the wavelength of the em-wave? (Given where h is the Planck's constant and c is the speed of light in vaccum.)
- A400 nm
- B600 nm
- C300 nm
- D200 nm
