When a photon of energy $4.25\, eV$ strikes the surface of a metal $A$,the ejected photoelectrons have a maximum kinetic energy $T_A\, eV$ and de-Broglie wavelength ${\lambda _A}$. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons liberated from another metal $B$ by a photon of energy $4.70\, eV$ is ${T_B} = ({T_A} - 1.50)\, eV$. If the de-Broglie wavelength of these photoelectrons is ${\lambda _B} = 2{\lambda _A}$,then:

  • A
    The work function of $A$ is $2.25\, eV$
  • B
    The work function of $B$ is $4.20\, eV$
  • C
    ${T_A} = 2.00\, eV$
  • D
    All of the above
