According to Einstein's photoelectric equation :

  1. A \(K_{\max }=h \nu-\phi_0\)
  2. B \(h \nu=K_{\max }-\phi_0\)
  3. C \(K_{\max }=h \nu+\phi_0\)
  4. D \(\phi_0=K_{\max }+h \nu\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(K_{\max }=h \nu-\phi_0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the principle of conservation of energy, the total energy of an incident photon ( \(h v\) ) is spent in two ways: overcoming the metal's work function ( \(\phi_0\) ) to eject an electron, and providing the remaining energy as maximum kinetic energy…
