When two monochromatic lights of frequency, νν and ν2\dfrac{ν}{2} are incident on a photoelectric metal, their stopping potential becomes VS2\dfrac{{V}_{S}}{2} and Vs{V}_{s} respectively. The threshold frequency for this metal is:

Options

  1. A3ν3ν
  2. B23ν\dfrac{2}{3}ν
  3. C32ν\dfrac{3}{2}ν
  4. D2ν2ν

Correct answer

C. 32ν\dfrac{3}{2}ν

Step-by-step solution

Using Einstein's photoelectric equation we can write,

For first case:

hν=ϕ+e(VS2)...(1)hν = ϕ + e\left(\dfrac{{V}_{S}}{2}\right) . . . \left(1\right)

For second case:

hν2=ϕ+e(VS)...(2)h\dfrac{ν}{2} = ϕ + e\left({V}_{S}\right) . . . \left(2\right)

Using value of e(VS)e\left({V}_{S}\right) from equation(2) in equation(1), we can write,

hν=ϕ+12(hν2−ϕ)hν = ϕ + \dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{hν}{2} - ϕ\right)
⇒hν=ϕ+hν4−ϕ2⇒ hν = ϕ + \dfrac{hν}{4} - \dfrac{ϕ}{2}
⇒ϕ2=3hν4⇒ \dfrac{ϕ}{2} = \dfrac{3hν}{4}
⇒ϕ=3hν2⇒ ϕ = \dfrac{3hν}{2}

As we know, ϕ=hν0ϕ = h{ν}_{0}

Therefore, ν0=3ν2{ν}_{0} = \dfrac{3ν}{2}
