When a piece of metal is illuminated by a monochromatic light of wavelength , then stopping potential is 3 ~V _ s . When same surface is illuminated by light of wavelength 2 , then stopping potential becomes V _ s . The value of threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission will be
Options
- A4
- B8
- C4 3
- D6
Correct answer
A. 4
Step-by-step solution
According to Einstein's photoelectric equation eV = hc [ 1 - 1 ₀ ] Ist case 3 eV _ s = hc [ 1 - 1 ₀ ] IInd case eV _ s = hc [ 1 2 - 1 ₀ ] Dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we get ₀=4
