Let K 1 and K 2 be the maximum kinetic energies of photo-electrons emitted when two monochromatic beams of wavelength λ 1 and λ 2 , respectively are incident on a metallic surface. If λ 1 = 3 λ 2 then :

Options

  1. AK 1 > K 2 3
  2. BK 1 < K 2 3
  3. CK 1 = K 2 3
  4. DK 2 = K 1 3

Correct answer

B. K 1 < K 2 3

Step-by-step solution

According to Einstein's photoelectric equation h ⁡ c λ = ϕ 0 + KE max , where ϕ 0 is a work function of a metal ∴ K ⁡ 1 = h ⁡ c λ 1 - ϕ 0 … i K ⁡ 2 = h ⁡ c λ 2 - ϕ 0 … i i or K 1 - K 2 = h c 1 λ 1 - 1 λ 2 = h c 1 3 λ 2 - 1 λ 2 = - 2 h c 3 λ 2 Given λ 1 = 3 λ 2 = - 2 3 K ⁡ 2 + ϕ 0 Using (ii) or ⁡ K ⁡ 1 = K ⁡ 2 - 2 3 K ⁡ 2 - 2 3 ϕ 0 = K ⁡ 2 3 - 2 3 &#9
