Q26.The threshold frequency of metal is f0 . When the light of frequency 2f0 is incident on the metal plate, the maximum velocity of photoelectron is v1 . When the frequency of incident radiation is increased to 5f0 . the maximum velocity of photoelectrons emitted is v2 . The ratio of v1 to v2 is: (1) v1 v2 = 21 (2) v2v1 = 81 (3) v1 v2 = 161 (4) v2v1 = 41

What This Question Tests
