When the wavelength of radiation falling on a metal is changed from 500nmto200nm500nmto200nm, the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons becomes three times larger. The work function of the metal is close to:

Options

  1. A0.81eV0 . 81eV
  2. B1.02eV1 . 02eV
  3. C0.52eV0 . 52eV
  4. D0.61eV0 . 61eV

Correct answer

D. 0.61eV0 . 61eV

Step-by-step solution

{KE}_\max = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda} - ϕ = \dfrac{hc}{500} - ϕ .....(i)

Now,

3{KE}_\max = \dfrac{hc}{200} - ϕ

.....(ii)

From equation (i) and (ii)

(ii)(i)=31=hc200−ϕhc500−ϕ\dfrac{\left(ii\right)}{\left(i\right)} = \dfrac{3}{1} = \dfrac{\dfrac{hc}{200} - ϕ}{\dfrac{hc}{500} - ϕ}

Put the value of hc=1237.5hc = 1237 . 5 and solving ϕ=0.61eVϕ = 0 . 61eV
