In a photoelectric cell, for the incident radiation of wavelength , the fastest electron has speed 'v'. If the wavelength of incident radiation is changed to , the speed of the fastest emitted electron is
Options
- A
- B
- Cless than
- Dgreater than
Correct answer
D. greater than
Step-by-step solution
Using Einstein's photoelectric equation:
When the wavelength is changed to , the new maximum kinetic energy is:
Substituting into the second equation:
Since the work function , we get:
Thus, the speed of the fastest emitted electron is greater than
Answer: greater than
