When the light of frequency 2ν02{ν}_{0} (where ν0{ν}_{0} is threshold frequency), is incident on a metal plate, the maximum velocity of electrons emitted is v1{v}_{1}. When the frequency of the incident radiation is increased to 5ν0,5{ν}_{0}, the maximum velocity of electrons emitted from the same plate is v2.{v}_{2} . The ratio of v1tov2{v}_{1}to{v}_{2} is

Options

  1. A4 : 1
  2. B1 : 4
  3. C1 : 2
  4. D2 : 1

Correct answer

C. 1 : 2

Step-by-step solution

From Einstein's equation of Photoelectric effect, we can write

For case 1: 12mv12=2hν0−hν0⇒12mv12=hv0\dfrac{1}{2}{mv}_{1}^{2} = 2{hν}_{0} - {hν}_{0} ⇒ \dfrac{1}{2}{mv}_{1}^{2} = {hv}_{0} ... (i), where mm is mass of electron, hh is Planck's constant.

For case 2: 12mv22=5hν0−hν0⇒12mv22=4hν0\dfrac{1}{2}{mv}_{2}^{2} = 5{hν}_{0} - {hν}_{0} ⇒ \dfrac{1}{2}{mv}_{2}^{2} = 4{hν}_{0} ... (ii)

From (1)( 1 ) and (2)( 2 )

v1v2=14=12\dfrac{{v}_{1}}{{v}_{2}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{4}} = \dfrac{1}{2}.

Hence, the ratio of v1{v}_{1} and v2{v}_{2} is 1:21: 2.
