Two identical photocathodes receive light of frequencies $f_{1}$ and $f_{2}$ respectively. If the velocities of the photo-electrons emitted are $v_{1}$ and $v_{2}$ respectively,then:

  • A
    $v_{1}^{2} - v_{2}^{2} = \frac{2h}{m} [f_{1} - f_{2}]$
  • B
    $v_{1}^{2} + v_{2}^{2} = \frac{2h}{m} [f_{1} + f_{2}]$
  • C
    $v_{1} + v_{2} = [\frac{2h}{m} (f_{1} + f_{2})]^{1/2}$
  • D
    $v_{1} - v_{2} = [\frac{2h}{m} (f_{1} - f_{2})]^{1/2}$

When the light of frequency $2v_0$ (where $v_0$ is threshold frequency) is incident on a metal plate,the maximum velocity of electrons emitted is $v_1$. When the frequency of the incident radiation is increased to $5v_0$,the maximum velocity of electrons emitted from the same plate is $v_2$. The ratio of $v_1$ to $v_2$ is

The energy of a photon with wavelength $\lambda$ is $2 \ eV$. When it strikes a metal surface,the maximum velocity of the emitted photoelectrons is $v$. If the value of $\lambda$ is decreased by $25\%$ and the maximum velocity is doubled,the work function of the metal becomes ...... $eV$.
