In the explanation of photoelectric effect, we assume one photon of frequency v collides with an electron and transfers its energy. This leads to the equation for the maximum energy Emax of the emitted electron as

Emax=hv=ϕ0 where ϕ0 is the work function of the metal. If an electron absorbs 2 photons (each of frequency v), what will be the maximum energy for the emitted electron?

How would you reconcile with momentum-conservation? Note light (photons) have momentum in a different direction than the emitted electrons.
