Photons of frequency, v, fall on metal surface for which the threshold frequency is `v_(0)`. Then

A

All ejected electrons have the same kinetic energy, `h(v-v_(0))`.

B

The ejected electrons have a distribution of kinetic energy from zero to `h(v-v_(0))`.

C

The most energetic electron has kinetic energy hv.

D

The average kinetic energy of ejected electrons is `h(v-v_(0))`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Due to distribution of kinetic energy of ejected photoelectrons inside the crystal.
