If the frequency of light in a photoelectric experiment is double then maximum kinetic energy of photoelectron

A

be doubled

B

be halved

C

become more than double

D

become less than double

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Einstein's formula
`K_(max1)=eV_(1)+phi`
if freqeuncy is doubled,
`K_(max2)=eV_(2)+phi gt 2K_(max1)`
