A certain metallic surface is illuminated by monochromatic radiation of wavelength . The stopping potential for photoelectric current for this radiation is 3 V 0 . If the same surface is illuminated with a radiation of wavelength 2 λ , the stopping potential is V 0 . The threshold wavelength of this surface for photoelectric effect is___________ λ .
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
KE = h c λ - ϕ h c e 3 V 0 = h c λ 0 - ϕ     … i e V 0 = h c 2 λ 0 - ϕ     … ii Using i  and   ii , ϕ = h c 4 λ 0 = h c λ t λ t = 4 λ 0
