Correct option is C)

In photoelectric effect, energy is conserved.

In photoelectric effect, Einstein's equation is given by

Photon energy kinetic energy of electron work function

i.e.

where, is the stopping potential and is the threshold frequency.

             .....(i)

 Given, ,

            ,

Substituting these values in equation (i), we get
