Question

Work function of metal A is equal to the ionization energy of hydrogen atom in the first excited state. Work function of metal B is equal to the ionization energy of $H e^{+}$ ion in the second orbit. Photons of same energy E are incident on both A and B. Maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from A is twice that of photoelectron emitted from B.
The difference in maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons from A and from B.

Solution

The correct option is D remains constant
$(E - ϕ_{A}) - (E - ϕ_{B}) = ϕ_{B} - ϕ_{A}$
=10.2 eV = constant
