When radiation of wavelength λ is incident on a metallic surface,...

When radiation of wavelength λ\lambda is incident on a metallic surface, the stopping potential of ejected photoelectrons is 4.8V4 . 8V. If the same surface is illuminated by radiation of double the previous wavelength, then the stopping potential becomes 1.6V1 . 6V. The threshold wavelength of the metal is:

Options

  1. A2λ2\lambda
  2. B4λ4\lambda
  3. C8λ8\lambda
  4. D6λ6\lambda

Correct answer

B. 4λ4\lambda

Put in equation (ii)( ii )

ϕ=1.6ϕ = 1 . 6

hcλth=1.6\dfrac{hc}{{\lambda}_{th}} = 1 . 6

λth=hc1.6{\lambda}_{th} = \dfrac{hc}{1 . 6}

=(hc6.4)×4=4λ= \left(\dfrac{hc}{6 . 4}\right) \times 4 = 4\lambda
