    None of these
  • B
    $A$ only
  • C
    $A$ and $B$ only
  • D

Radiation of two photon energies,twice and five times the work function of a metal,are incident successively on the metal surface. The ratio of the maximum velocity of photoelectrons emitted in the two cases is:

When a photon of energy $4.25 \, eV$ strikes the surface of a metal $A$,the ejected photoelectrons have a maximum kinetic energy $T_A \, eV$ and de-Broglie wavelength ${\lambda _A}$. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons liberated from another metal $B$ by a photon of energy $4.70 \, eV$ is $T_B = (T_A - 1.50) \, eV$. If the de-Broglie wavelength of these photoelectrons is ${\lambda _B} = 2{\lambda _A}$,then:
