Electromagnetic radiation having time varying electric field  E=E01+cosωtcosω0t falls on a metal surface of work function  ϕ. If  ω>ω0, the possible speed(s) of photoelectron is (ωω0>ϕ>ω0  where =h2π)

a
2ℏω−ϕm
b
2mℏω+ω0−ϕ
c
2mℏω0−ϕ
d
2mℏω−ω0−ϕ

detailed solution

Correct option is A

E=E0(1+cos⁡ωt)cos⁡ω0t=E0cos⁡ω0t+E02cos⁡ω+ω0t+E02cos⁡ω−ω0t∴Kmax=ħω+ω0−ϕ⇒Vmax=2mħω+ω0−ϕAs per question,ℏω−ω0>ϕ​⇒ℏω−ϕ>ℏω0​Since,ω0 is positive ​⇒ ℏω−ϕ is also positive.
