Consider a beam of electrons (each electron with energy \(E_0)\) incident on a metal surface kept in an evacuated chamber. Then:

1. no electrons will be emitted as only photons can emit electrons.
2. electrons can be emitted but all with energy, \(E_0\).
3. electrons can be emitted with any energy, with a maximum of \(\mathrm{E}_0-\phi\) (\(\phi\) is the work function).
4. electrons can be emitted with any energy, with a maximum \(E_0\).

2. greater than \(\sqrt{\frac{4}{3}}\)\(v\)
3. \(2v\)
4. zero

A photosensitive metallic surface has a work function of \(h\nu_0\). If photons of energy \(2h\nu_0\) fall on this surface, the electrons come out with a maximum velocity of \(4\times10^{6}\) m/s. When the photon energy is increased to \(5h\nu_0\), then the maximum velocity of photoelectrons will be:
1. \(2\times 10^7~\text{m/s}\)
2. \(2\times 10^6~\text{m/s}\)
3. \(8\times 10^5~\text{m/s}\)
