The maximum velocity of an electron emitted by light of wavelength ( ) incident on the surface of a metal of work function ( ) is [ (h= ) Planck's constant, (m= ) mass of electron and (c= ) speed of light]
Options
- A( 2(h c+ ) m )
- B( 2(h c- ) m )
- C( 2(h c- ) m )
- D( 2(h - ) m )
Correct answer
C. ( 2(h c- ) m )
Step-by-step solution
According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, maximum kinetic energy of emitted electron is ( aligned & K_ = h c - 1 2 m v_ ^2= h c- & v_ ^2= 2(h c- ) m v_ = 2(h c- ) m aligned )
