JEE Main & Advanced Physics Photo Electric Effect, X- Rays & Matter Waves Question Bank Photon and Photoelectric Effect

  • question_answer
    The frequency of the incident light falling on a photosensitive metal plate is doubled, the kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is                                                      [Roorkee 1992]

    A)            Double the earlier value 

    B)            Unchanged

    C)            More than doubled          

    D)            Less than doubled

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[E={{W}_{0}}+{{K}_{\max }}\Rightarrow {{K}_{\max }}=E-{{W}_{0}}=h\nu -{{W}_{0}}\] \[\Rightarrow {{K}_{1}}=h\nu -{{W}_{0}}\] and \[{{K}_{2}}=2h\nu -{{W}_{0}}\] \[\Rightarrow {{K}_{2}}>2{{K}_{1}}\]
