Light of wavelength \(3000 ~{\mathring{A}}\) in Photoelectric effect gives electron of maximum kinetic energy \(0.5 ~\text{eV}\). If the wavelength changes to \(2000 ~{\mathring{A}}\) then the maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons will be:
1. less than \(0.5 ~\text{eV}\).
2. \(0.5 ~\text{eV}\).
3. greater than \(0.5 ~\text{eV}\).
4. the photoelectric effect does not occur.
