Two identical photocathodes receive light of frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$. If the velocities of the photoelectrons (of mass $m$) coming out are $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively,then:

  • A
    $v_1 - v_2 = \left[ \frac{2h}{m}(v_1 - v_2) \right]^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • B
    $v_1^2 - v_2^2 = \frac{2h}{m}(v_1 - v_2)$
  • C
    $v_1 + v_2 = \left[ \frac{2h}{m}(v_1 - v_2) \right]^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • D
    $v_1^2 + v_2^2 = \frac{2h}{m}(v_1 - v_2)$

Light of wavelength $\lambda$ strikes a photo-sensitive surface and electrons are ejected with kinetic energy $E$. If the kinetic energy is to be increased to $2E$,the wavelength must be changed to $\lambda'$ where

$K_1$ and $K_2$ are the maximum kinetic energies of photoelectrons emitted from a surface of a given material for light of wavelengths $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$, respectively. If $\lambda_1 = 2\lambda_2$, then the work function of the material is given by:

If in a photoelectric experiment,the wavelength of incident radiation is reduced from $6000 \, \mathring{A}$ to $4000 \, \mathring{A}$,then:

This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2.$ Of the four choices given after the Statements,choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement $1:$ $A$ metallic surface is irradiated by a monochromatic light of frequency $v > v_0$ (the threshold frequency). If the incident frequency is now doubled,the photocurrent and the maximum kinetic energy are also doubled.
Statement $2:$ The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from a surface is linearly dependent on the frequency of the incident light. The photocurrent depends only on the intensity of the incident light.

The maximum kinetic energy of the photo-electrons depends only on
