When photon of energy 4.0eV4. 0eV strikes the surface of a metal AA, the elected photoelectrons have maximum kinetic energy TAeV{T}_{A}eV and de-Broglie wavelength λA{λ}_{A}. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectron liberated from another metal BB by photon of energy 4.50eV4. 50eV is TB=(TA−1.50)eV{T}_{B} = \left({T}_{A} - 1. 50\right)eV. If the de-Broglie wavelength of these photoelectrons λB=2λA{λ}_{B} = 2{λ}_{A}, then choose the correct statement(s).

Options

  1. AThe work function of AA is 1.50eV1. 50eV
  2. BThe work function of BB is 4.0eV4. 0eV
  3. CTA=3.2eV{T}_{A} = 3. 2eV
  4. DAll of the above

Correct answer

B. The work function of BB is 4.0eV4. 0eV

Step-by-step solution

From Einstein photoelectric equation,
E = {ϕ}_{0} + {KE}_\max

For metal A4=ϕA+TA....(i)A4 = {ϕ}_{A} + {T}_{A}.... \left(i\right)
For metal B4.5=ϕB+(TA−1.5)....(ii)B4. 5 = {ϕ}_{B} + \left({T}_{A} -1. 5\right).... \left(ii\right)

From Eq. (i) and (ii), wo got
ϕB−ϕA=2{ϕ}_{B} - {ϕ}_{A} = 2

Now, according to de-Broglie hypothesis,
λA=hmv=h2mTA{λ}_{A} = \dfrac{h}{mv} = \dfrac{h}{2m{T}_{A}}

Similarly, λB=h2mTB{λ}_{B} = \dfrac{h}{2m{T}_{B}}

∴ \dfrac{\lambdaA}{\lambdaB} = \sqrt{\dfrac{TB}{TA}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{{T}_{A} - 1. 5}{TA}} = \left(1 -\dfrac{1. 5}{TA}\right)1 / 2</p><p>(12)</p><p> \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)2 = 1 - 1.5TA\dfrac{1. 5}{TA}</p><p>Onsolving,</p><p>On solving,{T}_{A} = 2. 0eV</p><p>or</p><p>or{ϕ}_{A} = 4 - {T}_{A} = 4 - 2 = 2. 0eV</p><p></p><p>{ϕ}_{B} = 6 - {T}_{A} = 6 - 2 = 4. 0eV
