The kinetic energy of emitted electron is EE when the light incident on the metal has wavelength λ\lambda. To double the kinetic energy, the incident light must have wavelength:

Options

  1. AhcEλ−hc\dfrac{hc}{E\lambda - hc}
  2. BhcλEλ+hc\dfrac{hc\lambda}{E\lambda + hc}
  3. ChλEλ+hc\dfrac{h\lambda}{E\lambda + hc}
  4. DhcλEλ−hc\dfrac{hc\lambda}{E\lambda - hc}

Correct answer

B. hcλEλ+hc\dfrac{hc\lambda}{E\lambda + hc}

Step-by-step solution

Using Einstein's photoelectric equation, kinetic energy of an electron is EE when the incident wavelength is λ\lambda is E=hcλ−ϕ...(1)E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda} - ϕ . . . \left(1\right)

When kinetic energy doubles, then, 2E=hcλ′−ϕ...(2)2E = \dfrac{hc}{{\lambda}^{'}} - ϕ . . . \left(2\right)

Subtracting \left(2\right) - \left(1\right),wehave</p><p>, we have </p><p>E = hc\left(\dfrac{1}{{\lambda}^{'}} - \dfrac{1}{\lambda}\right)</p><p></p><p>⇒ {\lambda}^{'} = \dfrac{hc\lambda}{E\lambda + hc}
