The threshold frequency of a metal is ν₀. When light of frequency 3ν₀ falls on the metal, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is

  • Ahν₀
  • B3hν₀
  • C2hν₀
  • D4hν₀
Correct answer: C

Explanation

Einstein's photoelectric equation gives K.E. (max) = hν − hν₀ = h(3ν₀) − hν₀ = 2hν₀.
