Ultraviolet light is used for a photo-electric effect experiment on cadmium. For a given photon wavelength, the energy of the most-energetic emitted electrons is measured to be 8 eV. The experimenter doubles the wavelength of the ultraviolet light and measures a different electron energy:
| 
 2 eV  | 
||
| 
 4 eV  | 
||
| 
 8 eV  | 
||
| 
 16 eV  | 
||
| 
 32 eV  | 
In this question we have to determine the maximum kinetic energy
of ejected electrons when wavelength of incident light is
doubled.
