Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

Question:

When the light of frequency $2 v_0$ (where $v_0$ is the threshold frequency) is incident on a photosensitive material, the maximum velocity of electrons emitted is $v_1$. When the frequency of the incident raditation is increased to $3 v_{0}$, the maximum velocity of emitted electrons from the same material is $v_2$. The ratio of $v_1$ to $v_2$ will then be:

Options:

$2: 1$

$\sqrt{2}: 1$

$1: 2$

$1: \sqrt{2}$

Correct Answer:

$1: \sqrt{2}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → $1: \sqrt{2}$
