For photoelectric emission from certain metals, the cutoff frequency is \(\nu\). If radiation of frequency \(2\nu\) impinges on the metal plate, the maximum possible velocity of the emitted electron will be:

When the light of frequency \(2\nu_0\) (where \(\nu_0\) is threshold frequency), is incident on a metal plate, the maximum velocity of electrons emitted is \(v_1\).

1. | \(1:2\) | 2. | \(1:4\) |
3. | \(4:1\) | 4. | \(2:1\) |
An electron of mass m with an initial velocity \(\overrightarrow v= v_0\hat i\)\( ( v_o > 0 ) \) enters in an electric field \(\overrightarrow E = -E_0 \hat i\)\((E_0 = \text{constant}>0)\) at \(t=0\). If \(\lambda_0\)
