Question:

Photoelectron are emitted with maximum kinetic energy E from a metal surface when light of frequency v falls on it when light of frequency v' falls on the same metal, the max. KE. Of emitted Photoelectrons is found to be 2E then v' is -

Options:

$v^1=v$

$v^1=2v$

$v^1>2v$

$v^1<2v$

Correct Answer:

$v^1>2v$

Explanation:

$KE = hv + \phi$ …..(i)

$2KE = hv' + \phi$ ……(ii)

or $2 (hv + \phi) = hv' + \phi$

or $v' = 2v +\frac{\phi}{h}⇒v' > 2v$
