The work functions of metals A and B are in the ratio $1 : 2$. If light of frequencies $f$ and $2f$ are incident on metal surfaces A and B respectively, the ratio of the maximum kinetic energies of the photoelectrons emitted is
Answer: (B) $1 : 2$
$K_A = hf - \phi$ and $K_B = 2hf - 2\phi = 2K_A$. Ratio $1 : 2$.
