A stream of photons having energy 3 eV each impinges on a potassium surface. The work function of potassium is 2.3 eV. The emerging photoelectrons are slowed down by a copper plate placed 5 mm away. If the potential difference between the two metal plates is 1 V, the maximum distance the electrons can move away from the potassium surface before being turned back is,
