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

NEETNEET 2013Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

Solution:

$ h(2 v) = hv + \frac{1}{2} mv^2_{max} \Rightarrow = v_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{2hv}{m}}$
