Einstein's photoelectric equation states that ${E_k} = h\nu - \phi$. In this equation,${E_k}$ refers to:

  • A
    Kinetic energy of all the emitted electrons
  • B
    Mean kinetic energy of the emitted electrons
  • C
    Maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons
  • D
    Minimum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons
