The given answers are having the dimension of length [L]. It can be solvable. The photo electric effect can be written as:
E=mv22+ϕ
mv22=E−ϕ=ΔE
So, v=√[2∗E/m)] Now, the work function of a metal is 1eV=1.6×10−19
And energy of the photon is hcλ=6.6×10−19
So, ΔE=5.6×10−19 Now the velocity of the photo electron is v=√[2∗E/m)]=1109053m/s=1100km/s
So, the answer is option (C).
