The maximum velocities of the photoelectrons ejected are v and 2 v for the incident light of wavelength 400 ~nm and 250 ~nm on a metal surface respectively. The work function of the metal in terms of Planck's constant h and velocity of light c is
Options
- Ah c 10^6 ~J
- B2 h c 10^6 ~J
- C1.5 h c 10^6 ~J
- D2.5 h c 10^6 ~J
Correct answer
B. 2 h c 10^6 ~J
Step-by-step solution
As per question Solving eqns. (i) and (ii), we get aligned & h c 250 ~nm - ₀= 4 h c 400 ~nm -4 ₀ & or ₀= h c 500 10⁻⁹ ~J = 10^9 h c 500 ~J = 1000 h c 500 10^6 ~J aligned =2 h c 10^6 ~J
