Photoelectric Effect: Einstein's Equation

Energy of the incident photon on the metal surface is $3W$ and then $5W$ , where $W$ is the work function of that metal. The ratio of velocities of emitted photoelectrons is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = E - W$
$K_1 = 3W - W = 2W$ , $K_2 = 5W - W = 4W$
$\frac{v_1}{v_2} = \sqrt{\frac{2W}{4W}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
So the answer is (c) $1 : \sqrt{2}$ .
