Light of frequency v falls on material of threshold frequency v₀ . Maximum kinetic energy of emitted electron is proportional to
Options
- Av-v₀
- Bv
- Cv-v₀
- Dv₀
Correct answer
A. v-v₀
Step-by-step solution
When light falls on a metallic surface, ejection of photoelectron results. In this process, conservation of energy holds. Thus, from law of conservation of energy, Energy imparted by the photon = Maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electron + work function of the metal or h v=( KE )_ + but =h v₀, v₀ being threshold frequency. array ll & ( KE )_ =h v-h v₀ or & ( KE )_ v-v₀ array
