Einstein's photoelectric equation states that ${E_k} = h\nu - \phi$. In this equation,${E_k}$ refers to:

  • A
    Kinetic energy of all the emitted electrons
  • B
    Mean kinetic energy of the emitted electrons
  • C
    Maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons
  • D
    Minimum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons

Electrons ejected from the surface of a metal,when light of a certain frequency is incident on it,are stopped fully by a retarding potential of $3 \ V$. The photoelectric effect on this metallic surface begins at a frequency of $6 \times 10^{14} \ s^{-1}$. The frequency of the incident light in $s^{-1}$ is: [Planck's constant $= 6.4 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$,charge on the electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$]

In an experiment on the photoelectric effect,the frequency $\nu$ of the incident light is plotted against the stopping potential $V_0$. The work function of the photoelectric surface is given by ($e$ is the electronic charge):
