When radiation is incident on a metal surface of work function \( \Phi_0 \), photoelectrons are emitted with some maximum kinetic energy \( K \). If the frequency of the incident radiation is doubled, then the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons will become

  1. A 2K
  2. B \( 2K - \Phi_0 \)
  3. C \( 2K + \Phi_0 \)
  4. D 4K
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( 2K + \Phi_0 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( K = hf - \Phi_0 \) \( hf = K + \Phi_0 \) \( K' = h(2f) - \Phi_0 \) \( K' = 2(K + \Phi_0) - \Phi_0 \) \( K' = 2K + \Phi_0 \)
