When light of wavelength incidents on a photosensitive material, photoelectrons are emitted. If the wavelength of the incident light is reduced by 50 % , the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons becomes 3 times the initial maximum kinetic energy. The work function of the material is ( h - Planck's constant, c - Speed of light in vacuum)
Options
- Ahc
- Bhc 2
- C2 hc
- Dhc 3
Correct answer
B. hc 2
Step-by-step solution
From the photoelectric equation hc = E + ...(i) When ^ =0.5 = 2 Maximum Kinetic Energy, E ^ =3 E 2 hc =3 E + ... (ii) Solving equation (2) by (1), we have work function, = hc 2
