When photons of energy h\(v\) falls on a photosensitive metal surface (work function h\(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{g}}\)) electrons are emitted from the surface with finite K.E. It is possible to say that
  1. all ejected electrons have the same K.E. equal to \(h v-h v_{a}\)
  2. the ejected electrons have a distribution of kinetic energy, the most energetic ones having K.E. equal to \(h v-h v_{a}\)
  3. the most energetic ejected electrons have K.E.= h\(v\)
  4. the kinetic energy of ejected electrons is h\(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{g}}\)

Answer

(B) the ejected electrons have a distribution of kinetic energy, the most energetic ones having K.E. equal to h v-h v_ a
