A photosensitive metallic surface has work function, . If photons of energy fall on this surface, the electrons come out with a maximum velocity of . When the photon energy is increased to , then maximum velocity of photoelectrons will be
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
The solution to our problem consists in Einstein's photoelectric equation.
Einstein's photoelectric equation can be written as
and
Dividing Eq. (ii) by Eq. (i), we get
NOTE: The efficiency of photoelectric effect is less than .ie, number of photons less than are capable of ejecting photoelectrons.
