When photons of energies twice and thrice the work function of a metal are incident on the metal surface one after other, the maximum velocities of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are v₁ and v₂ respectively. The ratio v₁: v₂ is
Options
- A2 : 1
- B3 : 1
- C3 : 2
- D1: 2
Correct answer
D. 1: 2
Step-by-step solution
array ll & K E _ = h v- ₀ & Given, & E ₁=2 ₀ and E ₂=3 ₀ & K E ₁=2 ₀- ₀= ₀ & K E ₂=3 ₀- ₀=2 ₀ & but, K E ₁= 1 2 mv ₁^2 and K E ₂= 1 2 mv ₂^2 & K E ₁ ~K E ₂ = v ₁^2 v ₂^2 = 1 2 & v ₁ v ₂ = 1 2 array
