                    When photons of energy hv fall on an aluminium plate (of work function \[{{E}_{0}}\]), photoelectrons of maximum kinetic energy K are ejected. If the frequency of the radiation is doubled, the maximum kinetic energy of die ejected photoelectrons will be:                                                                                                                    

    A)                 \[K+{{E}_{0}}\]

    B)                 \[2K\]

    C)                 \[K\]

    D)                 \[K+hv\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Key Idea: The energy of photon is used in liberating the electron from metal surface and in imparting the   kinetic energy to emitted photoelectron.                 According to Einstein's photoelectric effect energy of photon = KE of photoelectron + work function of metal                 \[i.e.,hv=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}+{{E}_{0}}\]                 \[orhv={{K}_{\max }}+{{E}_{0}}...(i)\]                 Now, we have given,                 \[v'=2v\]                 Therefore, \[K{{'}_{\max }}=h\,(2v)-{{E}_{0}}\]                 \[K{{'}_{\max }}=2hv-{{E}_{0}}....(ii)\]                 From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have                 \[K{{'}_{\max }}=2\,({{K}_{\max }}+{{E}_{0}})-{{E}_{0}}\]                 \[=2\,{{K}_{\max }}+{{E}_{0}}\]                 \[={{K}_{\max }}+({{K}_{\max }}+{{E}_{0}})\]                 \[={{K}_{\max }}+hv[From\,\,Eq.\,(i)]\]                 putting \[{{K}_{\max }}=K\]                 \[\therefore K{{'}_{\max }}=K+hv\]                 Note:    The photoelectric emission is an instantaneous process. The time lag between the incidence of radiations and emission of photoelectrons is very small, less than even \[{{10}^{-9}}\] second.
