The frequency of incident light falling ...

The frequency of incident light falling on a photosensitive metal plate is doubled, the K.E of the emitted photo-electrons is

A

Double the earlier value

B

Unchanged

C

More than doubled

D

Less than doubled

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`E = W_(0) + K_(max) rArr K_(max) = E - W_(0) = hv - W_(0)`
`rArr K_(1) = hv - W_(0) ` and `K_(1) = 2 hv - W_(0) rArr K_(1) gt 2K_(1)`
