AIPMT PRELIMS 2006 Physics Photoelectric Effect MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12
When photons of energy hν fall on an aluminium plate (of work function E₀), 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
K + E₀
B
2K
C
K
D
K + hν
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
Doubling the frequency doubles the photon energy to 2hν. The kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is given by K = hν - E₀, so doubling the frequency gives K = 2hν - E₀.
