The maximum velocity of electrons emitted from a metal surface isvwhen the frequency of light falling on it isf. The maximum velocity when the frequency becomes4fis

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

According to Einstein's equation for P.E.E.

For1stcase,
12mv2=hf-W, wheref=frequency of incident light andW=work function

For2ndcase,
12mv12=h4f-W
12mv12=4hf-4W+3W
12mv12=4hf-W+3W
12mv12=412mv2+3W
12mv12=12m2v2+3W

This equation tells us on comparison that,
v1>2v
