Photoelectric Effect: Einstein's Equation

When photons of energy hνh\nu fall on a metal plate of work function ' W0W_0 ', photoelectrons of maximum kinetic energy ' KK ' are ejected. If the frequency of the radiation is doubled, the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. K=hν−W0K = h\nu - W_0.
  2. New: K′=2hν−W0=hν+(hν−W0)=K+hνK' = 2h\nu - W_0 = h\nu + (h\nu - W_0) = K + h\nu
  3. So the answer is (b) K+hνK + h\nu.
