An electron and proton are separated by a large distance. The electron starts approaching the proton with energy 3 eV. The proton captures the electron and forms a hydrogen atom in second excited state. The resulting photon is incident on a photosensitive metal of threshold wavelength 4000$\mathop A\limits^o $. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron?
7.61 eV
1.41 eV
3.3 eV
No photoelectron would be emitted
