In photoelectric emission, the velocity of electrons ejected from near the surface is

In the photoelectric effect the velocity of the ejected electrons depends upon the nature of the target and

If I_(0) is the threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission, 1 the wavelength of light falling on the surface of a metal and m is the mass of the electron, then the velocity of ejected electron is given by

Assertion : In photoelectron emission the velocity of electron ejected from near the surface is larger than that coming from interior of metal. Reaon : The velocity of ejected electron will be zero.
