Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Photons of energy 2.1 eV cause a photoelectric currenton the surface of caesium, which has a workfunction of 1.9 eV. How many times should the energyof the photon be increased in order to double themaximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons?
A
2.18
B
1.09
C
3.28
D
4.36
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The work function for caesium atom is 1.9 eV.

Detailed explanation-2: -E = hf = + ½mv2max f = the frequency of the incident radiation (Hz) = the work function of the material (J) ½mv2max= the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons (J)
