Two identical photocathodes receive light of frequencies f1\mathrm{f}_1f1​ and f2\mathrm{f}_2f2​. If the velocities of the photo electrons (of mass m\mathrm{m}m ) coming out are respectively v1\mathrm{v}_1v1​ and v2\mathrm{v}_2v2​, then

  1. A

    v12−v22=2hm(f1−f2)v_1^2-v_2^2=\frac{2 h}{m}\left(f_1-f_2\right)v12​−v22​=m2h​(f1​−f2​)

  2. B

    v1+v2=[2hm(f1+f2)]1/2v_1+v_2=\left[\frac{2 h}{m}\left(f_1+f_2\right)\right]^{1 / 2}v1​+v2​=[m2h​(f1​+f2​)]1/2

  3. C

    v12+v22=2hm(f1+f2)v_1^2+v_2^2=\frac{2 h}{m}\left(f_1+f_2\right)v12​+v22​=m2h​(f1​+f2​)

  4. D

    v1−v2=[2h m(f1−f2)]1/2\mathrm{v}_1-\mathrm{v}_2=\left[\frac{2 h}{\mathrm{~m}}\left(\mathrm{f}_1-\mathrm{f}_2\right)\right]^{1 / 2}v1​−v2​=[ m2h​(f1​−f2​)]1/2
