  • A
    $\frac{h^2 c^2}{W_0+eV}$
  • B
    $\frac{hc}{W_0}$
  • C

Assertion : When ultraviolet light is incident on a photocell,its stopping potential is $V_0$ and the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is $K_{max}$. When the ultraviolet light is replaced by $X-$ rays,both $V_0$ and $K_{max}$ increase.
Reason : Photoelectrons are emitted with speeds ranging from zero to a maximum value because of the range of frequencies present in the incident light.

The work function of a photosensitive metal surface is $\phi$. When a photon of energy $3\phi$ is incident on the surface,a photoelectron with a maximum velocity of $6.6 \times 10^6 \ m/s$ is emitted. If the energy of the incident photon is increased to $9\phi$,the maximum velocity of the emitted photoelectron will be ..........
