energy incient E = hc/L = (6.62*10^-34*3*10^8)/(83*10^-9) = 2.31*10^-18 J
1 ev = 1.6*10^-19 J
work function W = 4.7 eV = 4.7*1.6*10^-19
kinetic energy of emitted electron KE = E - W = (1/2)*m*v^2
m = mass of electron = 9.11*10^-31 kg
2.31*10^-18 - 4.7*1.6*10^-19 = (1/2)*9.11*10^-31*v^2
maimum speed vmax = 1.85*10^6 m/s
