For photoelectric emission from certain metal, the cut-off frequency is v. If radiation of frequency is v. If radiation of frequency 2v impinges on the metal plate, the maximum possible velocity of the emitted electrons will be (m is the electron mass)

  • square root of fraction numerator hv over denominator left parenthesis 2 straight m right parenthesis end fraction end root
  • square root of hv over straight m end root
  • square root of fraction numerator 2 hv over denominator straight m end fraction end root
  • 2 square root of hv over straight m end root

Solution

C.

square root of fraction numerator 2 hv over denominator straight m end fraction end root As space 1 half mv subscript max superscript 2 space equals space hv
rightwards double arrow space straight v subscript max superscript 2 space equals space fraction numerator 2 hv over denominator straight m end fraction
space therefore comma
straight v subscript max space equals space square root of fraction numerator 2 hv over denominator straight m end fraction end root
