    Which one of the following graph represents the variation of maximum kinetic energy \[({{E}_{k}})\] of the emitted electrons with frequency v in photoelectric effect correctly?

    A)   

    B)   

    C)   

    D)   

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    According to photoelectric equation                 \[{{E}_{k}}=hv-h{{v}_{0}}\]                                          ... (i) If the energy of photon \[(hv)\] is less than the work function \[(h{{v}_{0}})\] of metallic surface, then electrons will never be ejected from surface regardless of intensity of incident light. Also, from Eq. (i), when                 \[v={{v}_{0}},\,{{E}_{k}}=0\] \[\therefore \] Graph  represents variation of \[{{E}_{k}}\] with v.
