The surface of a metal is first illuminated with a light of wavelength 300 nm and later illuminated by another light of wavelength 500 nm . It is observed that the ratio of maximum velocities of photo electrons in two cases is 3. The work function of metal value is close to
Options
- A6.48 eV
- B1.23 eV
- C4.17 eV
- D2.28 eV
Correct answer
D. 2.28 eV
Step-by-step solution
₁=300 ~nm , ₂=500 ~nm , v ₁ v ₂ =3 By Einstein photoelectric equation, ( E = ₀+ 1 2 mv ^2 ) ( ( v ₁ v ₂ )^2= E ₁- ₀ E ₂- ₀ = ( 1240 ₁ - ₀ ) ( 1240 ₂ - ₀ ) ) ( 9= ( 1240 300 - ₀ ) ( 1240 500 - ₀ ) 9 ( 124 50 - ₀ )= ( 124 30 - ₀ ) ) ( ₀ 2.28 eV )
