The work function of the metal A is equal to the ionization energy of the hydrogen atom in the first excited state. The work function of the metal B is equal to the ionization energy of the hydrogen atom in the first excited state. The work function of the metal B is equal to the ionization energy of `He^+` ion in the second orbit. Photons of the same energy E are incident on both A and B. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from A is twice that of photoelectrons emitted from B . Value of E (in eV) is

A

B

20.8 eV

C

32.2 eV

D
