Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) more than two times its initial value.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{K} \cdot \mathrm{E}_{\max }=\mathrm{h} v-\mathrm{W}\)
When frequency is doubled,
\(\begin{aligned}
K \cdot E_{\max } & =\mathrm{h} v-\mathrm{W} \\
& =2 \mathrm{~h} v-2 \mathrm{~W}+\mathrm{W} \\
& =2(\mathrm{~h} v-\mathrm{W})+\mathrm{W} \\
& =2 \mathrm{~K}+\mathrm{W}
\end{aligned}\)
\(\therefore \quad\) The K.E. \(\max\) is more than twice the initial value.
