Consider the metals lithium, beryllium, and mercury, which have work functions of 2.3eV and 3.9eV respectively. If light of wavelength 300 nm is incident on each of these metals, determine the maximum kinetic energy for the photoelectron of each metal. a. lithium =2.45eV and beryllium =1.24eV b. lithium =4.20eV and beryllium =2.48eV c. lithium =1.83cV and beryllium =0.23cV d. lithium =3.28eV and beryllium =0.82eV
