The maximum velocity of the photoelectrons emitted from the surface...

The maximum velocity of the photoelectrons emitted from the surface is vv when light of frequency nn falls on a metal surface. If the incident frequency is increased to 3n3n, the maximum velocity of the ejected photoelectrons will be:

Options

  1. Amore than 3v\sqrt{3}v
  2. Bequal to 3v\sqrt{3}v
  3. Cvv
  4. Dless than 3v\sqrt{3}v

Correct answer

A. more than 3v\sqrt{3}v

Step-by-step solution

According to Einstein's photoelectric effect,

K{E}_\max = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda} - ϕ

The incident energy of the photon is E1=12mv2=hn−ϕ...(1){E}_{1} = \dfrac{1}{2}m{v}^{2} = hn - ϕ . . . \left(1\right)

If incident frequency increased to 3n

E2=12mv22=3hn−ϕ{E}_{2} = \dfrac{1}{2}m{v}_{2}^{2} = 3hn - ϕ

=3(hn−ϕ)+2ϕ= 3\left(hn - ϕ\right) + 2ϕ

E2=3E1+2ϕ{E}_{2} = 3{E}_{1} + 2ϕ

⇒12mv22=32mv2+2ϕ⇒ \dfrac{1}{2}m{v}_{2}^{2} = \dfrac{3}{2}m{v}^{2} + 2ϕ

⇒v22=3v2+4ϕm⇒ {v}_{2}^{2} = 3{v}^{2} + \dfrac{4ϕ}{m}

⇒v2>v3⇒ {v}_{2} > v\sqrt{3}
