Radiation of wavelength λ\lambda is incident on a photocell. The fastest emitted photoelectron has a speed vv. If the wavelength is changed to 3λ4\dfrac{3\lambda}{4}, the speed of the fastest emitted photoelectron will be

Options

  1. A= v(43)12\left(\dfrac{4}{3}\right)\dfrac{1}{2}
  2. B= v(34)12\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)\dfrac{1}{2}
  3. C> v(43)12\left(\dfrac{4}{3}\right)\dfrac{1}{2}
  4. D< v(43)12\left(\dfrac{4}{3}\right)\dfrac{1}{2}

Correct answer

C. > v(43)12\left(\dfrac{4}{3}\right)\dfrac{1}{2}

Step-by-step solution

12mv2=hcλ−ϕ\dfrac{1}{2}{mv}^{2} = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda} - ϕ ...(i)

12mv′2=43hcλ−ϕ\dfrac{1}{2}mv{'}^{2} = \dfrac{4}{3}\dfrac{hc}{\lambda} - ϕ ...(ii)

From Eqn. (i)

hcλ=12mv2+ϕ\dfrac{hc}{\lambda} = \dfrac{1}{2}{mv}^{2} + ϕ

On putting this Equation (ii)

12mv′2=43(12mv2+ϕ)−ϕ\dfrac{1}{2}{mv}^{′2} = \dfrac{4}{3}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}{mv}^{2} + ϕ\right) - ϕ

v′2=43v2+2ϕ3mv{'}^{2} = \dfrac{4}{3}{v}^{2} + \dfrac{2ϕ}{3m}

⇒v′>43v⇒ v ' > \sqrt{\dfrac{4}{3}}v
