Light comprising three wavelengths $310 \ nm$,$455 \ nm$,and $620 \ nm$ is incident on a surface separating two media at an angle of $45^o$. The refractive index for the $455 \ nm$ light is $\sqrt{2}$. If a metal plate with a work function of $1.2 \ eV$ is placed in the second medium,what is the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons emitted from the metallic plate in $eV$?

  • A
    $0.8$
  • B
    $2.8$
  • C
