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 the ejected photoelectrons will be (a) 2K (b) K (c) K + hv (d) K + E 0

(c)

Applying Einstein''s formula for photoelectricity

        If we use 2v frequency then let the kinetic energy becomes K''

        So,

                h. 2v = f + K''

2hv = hv – K + K''

K''= hv + K
