Light of wavelength 4000A∘ is incident on a metal surface. The maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectron is 2 eV. What is the work function of the metal surface?

Statement 1: Though light of a single frequency (monochromatic light) is incident on a metal, the kinetic energies of emitted photoelectrons are not equal. Statement 2: The energy of electrons just after they absorb photons incident on metal surface may be lost in collision with other atoms in the metal before the electron is ejected out of the metal.
