The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Einstein's photoelectric equation states that:
\[
h\nu = \phi + K_{\text{max}},
\]
where \(h\nu\) is the energy of the incident photon, \(\phi\) is the work function, and \(K_{\text{max}}\) is the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electron. This conservation equation explicitly describes the conservation of energy.
