Question:medium

The work function of a photosensitive metallic surface is \( h\nu_0 \). If photons of energy \( (2.5)h\nu_0 \) fall on this surface, the electrons come out with maximum velocity ' v '. When the photon energy is increased to \( 7h\nu_0 \), the maximum velocity of photoelectrons will be

Show Hint

- KE $\propto$ $(\nu - \nu_0)$ - Velocity $\propto \sqrt{\text{KE}}$
