First, identify the physical process: a photon of frequency f ejects an electron from gold, and the maximum kinetic energy is given by KEmax = hf − φ, where h is Planck's constant and φ is the work function.

Compute the photon energy hf:
- h ≈ 6.626 × 10^−34 J·s
- f = 1.88 × 10^15 Hz
- hf = (6.626 × 10^−34) × (1.88 × 10^15) = (6.626 × 1.88) × 10^(−34+15) J
- 6.626 × 1.88 ≈ 12.45888
- hf ≈ 12.45888 × 10^−19 J = 1.245888 × 10^−18 J

Now apply the work function φ:
- φ = 7.71 × 10^−19 J = 0.771 × 10^−18 J

Subtract to get KEmax:
- KEmax = hf − φ ≈ (1.245888 − 0.771) × 10^−18 J
- KEmax ≈ 0.474888 × 10^−18 J = 4.74888 × 10^−19 J

Rounding to two significant figures in standard form without units (as requested):
- KEmax ≈ 4.75 × 10^−19 J → written as 4.75e-19

Note on the provided answer options: the given value 4.63e−19 is close but slightly smaller than the calculation above. The discrepancy likely comes from using slightly different constants or intermediate rounding in hf. The precise calculation with the stated constants yields about 4.75e−19 J. In this context, 4.75e−19 is the value you would report, and 4.63e−19 would be considered an approximate or alternative rounding.

If you were to check your work, you could redo hf using h = 6.62607015 × 10^−34 J·s for higher precision, and you should still obtain a result very close to 4.75e−19 J. A difference of a few percent can arise from rounding early in the multiplication.
