Question:

If the photons of frequency v are incident on the surfaces of metal A and B of threshold frequencies v/2 and v/3 respectively, then what will be the ratio of the maximum kinetic energy of electrons emitted from A to that of B ?

Options:

2:3

3:4

1:3

9:4

Correct Answer:

3:4

Explanation:

hv=hv/2 + Ka ⇒ Ka=hv/2

hv=hv/3 + Kb ⇒ Kb=2hv/3

divide the two equations to get 3:4.
