Wavelengths belonging to the Balmer series for a hydrogen atom lying in the range 450 nm450\text{ nm} to 750 nm750\text{ nm} are used to eject photoelectrons from a metal surface whose work function is 2.0 eV2.0\text{ eV}. Find, in eV\text{eV}, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons.
