A light beam ...

Question

A light beam consists of two types of photons. In one type, each photon has energy $2 e V$ and in other type, each photon has energy $3 e V$ . The light beam is incident on a photoelectric material of work function $1 e V$ . The maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectron is:

Solution

The correct option is B $2 e V$
Given,
work function of photoelectric material $(ϕ) = 1 e V$
We know that,
$K E_{m a x} = h v_{m a x} - ϕ$
$= 3 - 1 = 2 e V$ .
