In the case of photoelectric emission from a certain metal, the cutoff frequency is \(v\). If radiation of frequency \(2 v\) is incident on the metal plate, the maximum possible velocity of the emitted electrons will be ( \(m=\) mass of electron)

  1. A \(2 \sqrt{\frac{h v}{m}}\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{\frac{h v}{2 m}}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{\frac{2 h v}{m}}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{\frac{h v}{m}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{\frac{2 h v}{m}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(K \cdot E .=E-\phi\)
\(\frac{1}{2} m v_{\max }^2=h(2 v)-h v\)
\(v_{\max }=\sqrt{\frac{2 h v}{m}}\)
