Solution

The correct option is C Larger than those coming from the interior of the metal
The velocity of electrons ejected from near the surface will be larger than those coming from the interior of the metal because the electrons in the interior goes under collision while coming out. So, they lost some kinetic energy into the collision. So, they come out with less velocity.

Ram and Satra are performing photo electric effect in the lab.

The number of electrons coming out from the emitter plate is same for both of them but in Ram's setup the electrons come out with velocity V while in Satra's setup they come out with 2V. Who will record a higher Photo current?
