Light described by the equation E=(100 V m−1)[sin⁡((5×1015 s−1)t)+sin⁡((8×1015 s−1)t)]E=(100\text{ V m}^{-1})[\sin((5\times10^{15}\text{ s}^{-1})t)+\sin((8\times10^{15}\text{ s}^{-1})t)] falls on a metal surface with work function 2.0 eV2.0\text{ eV}. Calculate the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons.
