Which of the following equations represents the velocity ( v ) of the ejected electrons when a metal is made to strike with light of frequency v and the threshold frequency of the metal is v 0 ? m e = mass of electron and h is Planck's constant).
Options
- Av = h v - v 0 m e
- Bv = 2 h v - v 0 m e
- Cv = h v - v 0 2 m e
- Dv = h v - v 0 m e
Correct answer
B. v = 2 h v - v 0 m e
Step-by-step solution
As in case of photoelectric effect, incident radiation energy is equal to the sum of threshold energy and kinetic energy. h v = h v 0   +   1 2 m e v 2 v 2 = 2 h ( v - v 0 ) m e v = 2 h ( v - v 0 ) m e
