1)

Suppose a beam of electron  with each electron having energy E0  incident on a metal  surface  kept in an evacuated chamber. Then


A) Electron can be emitted with any energy with a maximum of $E_{0}$

B) No electrons will be emitted as only photons can emit electrons

C) Electrons can be emitted but all with an energy $E_{0}$

D) Electrons can be emitted with any energy with maximum $E_{0}$- $\phi$ , where $\phi$ being work function

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The emitted  electrons may lie near the surface and can have a maximum amount of energy  E0

 If they are from deep inside, then energy is less than E0
