Q136 / 180 · KCET 2021 · Physics
According to Einstein's photoelectric equation to the graph between kinetic energy of photoelectrons ejected and the frequency of incident radiation is
- A

- B

- C

- Correct answerD

Solution
The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectron ejected is given by $\mathrm{KE}=h \mathrm{v}-\phi_{0}=h \mathrm{v}-h \mathrm{v}_{0}=h\left(\mathrm{v}-\mathrm{v}_{0}\right)$
If the frequency of incident radiation is greater than threshold frequency $v_{0}$, then the ejection of photoelectrons starts. After that as frequency increases, kinetic energy also increases linearly. It is shown in option (d).
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
