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
- A 2K
- B \( 2K - \Phi_0 \)
- C \( 2K + \Phi_0 \)
- D 4K
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \( 2K + \Phi_0 \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\( K = hf - \Phi_0 \) \( hf = K + \Phi_0 \) \( K' = h(2f) - \Phi_0 \) \( K' = 2(K + \Phi_0) - \Phi_0 \) \( K' = 2K + \Phi_0 \)

Bio-fertilisers are organisms that enrich the nutrient quality of the soil like cyanobacteria, while there are organisms that help to control plant diseases and pests. The very familiar beetle, the ladybird and dragonflies are useful to get rid of aphids and mosquitoes, respectively. An example of microbial biocontrol agents that can be introduced to control butterfly caterpillars is certain bacteria, which are available in sachets in the form of dry spores. These spores are mixed with water and sprayed onto vulnerable plants. Trichoderma species that are very common in the root ecosystem, are very effective biocontrol agents of several plant pathogens.Baculoviruses attack insects and other arthropods.
