h v=W+K max The photoelectric equation refers to K max . It means 0 ≤ K ≤ K max The kinetic energies of the emitted electrons vary from 0 to K max

Q. The photoelectrons emitted from a surface of sodium metal are such that

they all are of the same frequency

they have the same kinetic energy

they have the same de Broglie wavelength

they have their speeds varying from zero to a certain maximum

$h v = W + K_{m a x}$
The photoelectric equation refers to $K_{m a x} .$ It means
$0 \leq K \leq K_{m a x}$
The kinetic energies of the emitted electrons vary from $0$ to $K_{m a x}$

hv=W+Kmax​ The photoelectric equation refers to Kmax​. It means 0≤K≤Kmax​ The kinetic energies of the emitted electrons vary from 0 to Kmax​

$h v = W + K_{m a x}$
The photoelectric equation refers to $K_{m a x} .$ It means
$0 \leq K \leq K_{m a x}$
The kinetic energies of the emitted electrons vary from $0$ to $K_{m a x}$
