Two identical photocathodes receive light of frequencies $n_1$ and $n_2$. If the velocities of the emitted photoelectrons of mass $m$ are $V_1$ and $V_2$ respectively, then ($h$ = Planck's constant)

  • A
    $V_1 + V_2 = [\frac{2h}{m}(n_1 + n_2)]^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • B
    $V_1 - V_2 = [\frac{2h}{m}(n_1 - n_2)]^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • C
    $V_1^2 + V_2^2 = \frac{2h}{m}(n_1 + n_2)$
  • D
    $V_1^2 - V_2^2 = \frac{2h}{m}(n_1 - n_2)$

Assertion : In the process of photoelectric emission, all emitted electrons do not have the same kinetic energy.
Reason : If radiation falling on the photosensitive surface of a metal consists of different wavelengths, then the energy acquired by electrons absorbing photons of different wavelengths shall be different.

$A$ photosensitive surface has work function $\phi$. If a photon of energy $3 \phi$ falls on this surface, the electron comes out with a maximum velocity of $4 \times 10^6 \,m/s$. When the photon energy is increased to $7 \phi$, the maximum velocity of the photoelectron will be:
