As we discussed in concept

Conservation of energy -

h\nu = \phi _{0}+\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}_{max}

h\nu = h\nu _{0}+\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}_{max}

 

h\left ( \nu-\nu _{0} \right )=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}_{max}

where, h - Plank's constant\ \nu - Frequency\ \nu_{0} - threshold\ frequency\ \phi_{0}- work function

- wherein

 

 \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}_{max}=h(\nu-\nu_{o})

here \nu\:=\:2\nu

        \nu_{o}=\nu

=> \\ \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}_{max}=h.(2\nu-\nu)=h\nu \\ \\ \therefore\:V_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{2h\nu}{m}}


Option 1)

\sqrt{\frac{hv}{m}}

Option 2)

\sqrt{\frac{2hv}{m}}

This option is correct.

Option 3)

2\sqrt{\frac{hv}{m}}

This option is incorrect.
