If light with photon energy 2eV is incident suitably on the surface of a metal with work function 3eV, then

A.

no electron will be emitted

B.

the few electrons emitted will have a maximum kinetic energy of 1eV

C.

the few electrons emitted will have a maximum kinetic energy of 3eV

D.

many electrons will be emitted

Correct answer is A

An electron can only be emitted if photon energy is equal or greater than work function of the plate
