Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies v₁ and v₂ of the incident light rays (v₁>v₂ ) . If the maximum values of kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio of 1: k , then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is
Options
- Av₂-v₁ k-1
- Bk v₁-v₂ k-1
- Ck v₂-v₁ k-1
- Dv₂-v₁ k
Correct answer
B. k v₁-v₂ k-1
Step-by-step solution
Maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons ( KE )_ =h v-h v₀v= frequency of incident radiation v₀= threshold frequency Ist Case ( KE _ )₁=h v₁-h v₀ IInd Case ( KF _ )₂=h v₂-h v₀ aligned ( KE _ )₁ ( KE _ )₂ & = h (v₁-v₀ ) h (v₂-v₀ ) 1 k & = v₁-v₀ v₂-v₀ v₂-v₀ & =k v₁-k v₀ k v₀-v₀ & =k v₁-v₂ v₀ & = k v₁-v₂ k-1 aligned
