The energy of a photon is hv.
Each photon is completely absorbed by a single electron.
$\text{E}_{k} = \text{hv} - \text{W}$
Alternate Answer
$\text{hv} =\text{hv}_{o} + \frac{1}{2}\text{mv}_{max^{2}} \text{ or }\text{hv} = \text{hv}_{o} + \text{eV}_{o}\text{ or }\text{E}_{k} = \text{h}(\text{v - v}_{o})$
When Incident frequency < Threshold frequency, there will be no emission of electrons. Hence , frequency of incident radiation should be greater than threshold frequency. $\bigg(\text{v}_{o} = \frac{\text{w}}{\text{h}}\bigg)$
At $\text{v} =\text{v}_{0} , \text{E}_{k} = \text{eV}_{o} = 0 $
$V_o$ is called stopping potential.

What is the power dissipated in an ac circuit in which voltage and current are given by $\text{V}=230\sin(\omega\text{t}+\frac{\pi}{2})$ and $\text{I}=10\sin\omega\text{t}?$
How is a galvanometer converted into a voltmeter and an ammeter? Draw the relevant diagrams and find the resistance of the arrangement in each case. Take resistance of galvanometer as G.
When an AC source is connected to an ideal capacitor, show that the average power supplied by the source over a complete cycle is zero.
A bulb is connected in series with a variable capacitor and an A.C. source as shown. What happens to the brightness of the bulb when the key is the capacitor is gradually reduced?
State the underlying principle of a potentiometer. Write two factors by which current sensitivity of a potentiometer can be increased. Why is a potentiometer preferred over a voltmeter for measuring the emf of a cell?
An inductor-coil, a capacitor and an AC source of rms voltage 24V are connected in series. When the frequency of the source is varied, a maximum rms current of 6.0A is observed. If this inductor coil is connected to a battery of emf 12V and internal resistance $4.0\Omega,$ what will be the current?
State the principle of a cyclotron. Show that the time period of revolution of particles in a cyclotron is independent of their speeds. Why is this property necessary for the operation of a cyclotron?
