For photoelectric emission from certain metal the cut-off frequency is $v$. If radiation of frequency $2 \mathrm{v}$ impinges on the metal plate, the maximum possible velocity of the emitted electron will be ( $m$ is the electron mass)
  1. $\sqrt{\frac{h v}{(2 m)}}$
  2. $\sqrt{\frac{h v}{m}}$
  3. $\sqrt{\frac{2 h v}{m}}$
  4. $2 \sqrt{\frac{h v}{m}}$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \text { } \mathrm{As} \frac{1}{2} m v_{\max }^2=h v \\ & \Rightarrow \quad v_{\max }^2=\frac{2 \mathrm{mN}}{m} \\ & \therefore \quad v_{\max }=\sqrt{\frac{2 h \mathrm{~V}}{\mathrm{~m}}} \\ & \end{aligned}$
