The photosensitive metallic surface has work function $h v_0$ fall on this surface, the electrons come out with a maximum velocity of $4 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. When the photon energy is increased $5 h v_0$. Then maximum velocity of photoelectrons will be:
  1. $2 \times 10^7 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
  2. $2 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
  3. $8 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
  4. $8 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$

Solution

According to the question $\begin{gathered} 2 h v_0=h v_0+\frac{1}{2} m\left(4 \times 10^6\right)^2 \\ 5 h v_0=h v_0+\frac{1}{2} m v^2 \\ \Rightarrow 4 \times \frac{1}{2} m\left(4 \times 10^6\right) \\ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} m v^2 \\ v=8 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \end{gathered}$
