Two identical photocathodes receive light of frequencies $n_1$ and $n_2$. If the velocities of the emitted photoelectrons of mass $m$ are $V_1$ and $V_2$ respectively,then ($h=$ Planck's constant):

  • A
    $V_1+V_2=\left[\frac{2h}{m}(n_1+n_2)\right]^{1/2}$
  • B
    $V_1-V_2=\left[\frac{2h}{m}(n_1-n_2)\right]^{1/2}$
  • C
    $V_1^2+V_2^2=\frac{2h}{m}(n_1+n_2)$
  • D
    $V_1^2-V_2^2=\frac{2h}{m}(n_1-n_2)$
