Light of wavelength 500nm500nm is incident on a metal with work function 2.28eV2 . 28eV. The de Broglie wavelength of the emitted electron is:

Options

  1. A<2.8×10−9m< 2.8 \times {10}^{- 9}m
  2. B≥2.8×10−9m\ge 2.8 \times {10}^{- 9}m
  3. C≤2.8×10−12m\le 2.8 \times {10}^{- 12}m
  4. D<2.8×10−10m< 2.8 \times {10}^{- 10}m

Correct answer

B. ≥2.8×10−9m\ge 2.8 \times {10}^{- 9}m

Step-by-step solution

K{E}_\max = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda} - Ψ
⇒ K{E}_\max = \dfrac{1240}{500} - 2.28
⇒ K{E}_\max = 2.48 - 2.28 = 0.2eV
{\lambda}_\min = \dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m{\left(KE\right)}_\max}} = \dfrac{\dfrac{20}{3} \times {10}^{- 34}}{\sqrt{2 \times 9 \times {10}^{- 31} \times 0.2 \times 1.6 \times {10}^{- 19}}}
{\lambda}_\min = \dfrac{25}{9} \times {10}^{- 9} = 2.80 \times {10}^{- 9}m
So, λ≥2.8×10−9m\lambda \ge 2.8 \times {10}^{- 9}m.
