What is maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons produced? $( c = 3.00$ $\times 10 ^ { 8 } \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } , h = 6.626 \times 10 ^ { - 34 } \mathrm {~J} \cdot \mathrm { s } , 1 \mathrm { eV } = 1.60 \times 10 ^ { - 19 } \mathrm {~J}$ )

• A) \(1.6 \times 10 ^ { - 19 } \mathrm {~J}\)
• B) \(4.9 \times 10 ^ { - 19 } \mathrm {~J}\)
• C) \(4.4 \times 10 ^ { - 19 } \mathrm {~J}\)
• D) \(5.4 \times 10 ^ { - 19 } \mathrm {~J}\)
• E) \(3.8 \times 10 ^ { - 19 } \mathrm {~J}\)
