When a photon of energy $hv$ is incident on an aluminum plate (work function $E_0$),photoelectrons with maximum kinetic energy $K$ are emitted. What will be the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons when a photon of energy $2hv$ is incident on the same aluminum plate?

  • A
    $2K$
  • B
    $K$
  • C
    $K + hv$
  • D
    $K + E_0$
