The photoelectron emitted from a metal surface are such that their velocity

A

is zero for all

B

is same for all

C

lies between zero and infinity

D

lies between zero and a finite maximum

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
As K.E max of emitted electron is finite so, `V_(max) gt V gt 0`
