The photon is having a wavelength of 4\times 10^{-7}m strikes on a metal surface, where the work function of the metal being is 2.13\ eV.

So, Energy of the photon:

E = h \nu = \frac{hc}{\lambda}= \frac{(6.626\times10^{-34}J.s)\times (3.0\times10^8 ms^{-1})}{(4\times10^{-7} m)}

                              =4.97\times10^{-19}J 

                              =\frac{4.97\times10^{-19}J}{1.602\times10^{-19}}eV

                               = 3.10\ eV
