A photosensitive metallic surface has work function, hv0h v_0. If photons of energy 2hv02 h v_0 fall on this surface, the electrons come out with a maximum velocity of 4×106 m/s4 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}. When the photon energy is increased to 5hv05 h v_0, then maximum velocity of photoelectrons will be

Options

  1. A2×106 m/s2 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}
  2. B2×107 m/s2 \times 10^7 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}
  3. C8×105 m/s8 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}
  4. D8×106 m/s8 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

Correct answer

D. 8×106 m/s8 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

Step-by-step solution

The solution to our problem consists in Einstein's photoelectric equation. Einstein's photoelectric equation can be written as 12mv2=hv−ϕ\frac{1}{2} m v^2=h v-\phi ⇒12m×(4×106)2=2hv0−hv0...(i)\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} m \times\left(4 \times 10^6\right)^2=2 h v_0-h v_0...(i) and 12m×v2=5hv0−hv0...(ii)\frac{1}{2} m \times v^2=5 h v_0-h v_0...(ii) Dividing Eq. (ii) by Eq. (i), we get v2(4×106)2=4hv0hv0\frac{v^2}{\left(4 \times 10^6\right)^2}=\frac{4 h v_0}{h v_0} ⇒v2=4×16×1012⇒v2=64×1012∴v=8×106 m/s\begin{array}{ll}\Rightarrow & v^2=4 \times 16 \times 10^{12} \\ \Rightarrow & v^2=64 \times 10^{12} \\ \therefore & v=8 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\end{array} NOTE: The efficiency of photoelectric effect is less than 1%1 \%.ie, number of photons less than 1%1 \% are capable of ejecting photoelectrons.
