- D6
Correct answer
C. 5
Step-by-step solution
From Einstein's equation, h = e V ₀+ h ₀ hc - hc ₀ = eV ₀ case (i) = ; V ₀= V hc - hc ₀ = eV case (ii) =3 ; V ₀= V 6 hc 3 - hc ₀ = eV 6 aligned & dividing equation (i) by equation (ii) & ( hc - hc ₀ ) ( hc 3 - hc ₀ ) =6 & 1 - 1 ₀ =6 ( 1 3 - 1 ₀ ) & 1 - 1 ₀ = 2 - 6 ₀ & -1 ₀ + 6 ₀ = 2 - 1 aligned 5 ₀ = 1 ₀=5
