A light source of wavelength illuminates a metal surface and electrons are ejected with maximum kinetic energy of 2 eV . If the same surface is illuminated by a light source of wavelength 2 , then the maximum kinetic energy of ejected electrons will be (The work function of metal is 1 eV )
Options
- A3 eV
- B2 eV
- C6 eV
- D5 eV
Correct answer
D. 5 eV
Step-by-step solution
Einstein's photoelectric equation aligned & KE = h c = ₀ & 2 eV = h c -1 eV & h c =3 eV & KE ^ = h c ( / 2) - ₀=6 eV -1 eV aligned =5 eV
