NEET Physics Photoelectric Effect MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

Light of two different frequencies whose photons has energies 1 eV and 2.5 eV respectively, successively illuminates a metal of work function 0.5 eV. The ratio of maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electron will be

A

1 : 5

B

1 : 4

C

3 : 2

D

1 : 1

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The kinetic energy of emitted electrons is given by KE = hf - φ. For the two frequencies, KE ratios are (1-0.5) : (2.5-0.5) = 0.5 : 2 = 1 : 4.
