Answer:

The maximum kinetic energy is 10.37 eV

Explanation:

According to the problem the wavelength of the light i 4000a

The work function of the plate is  2 ev

The maximum kinetic energy emitted,

KE=Energy of the incident radiation −work functionEnergy of the incident radiation

=hc/λ [ where h = plank's constant, c= speed of light, λ= wavelength]

   =6.6×10^(−34)×3×10^8/4000×10^(−10) joule

      =6.6×10^(−34)×3×10^8/4000×10^(−10)×1.6×10^(−19)

        =12.37eV

  KE=12.37−2=10.37 eV
