Correct option is C

Given, λ=300nm =300×10-9m E=hCλ=6.6×10-34×3×1083×10-7=6.6×10-19J Work function,W=4ev=4×1.6×10-19=6.4×10-19J According to photoelectric effect, E=W+K.E K.E=6.6×10-19-6.4×10-19=0.2×10-19J=2×10-20J

In a Photo electric effect experiment, A metal ‘X’ is irradiated by two incident radiations in two different experiments. If the ratio of incident frequencies is 1:2 and the ratio of kinetic energy of photo electrons is 1:3. Then the correct relation is (where $ν_{1}, ν_{2}$ are incident frequencies in experiment one and two respectively and $ν_{0}$ is the threshold frequency of the metal ‘X’)
