When a certain metallic surface is illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength λ,\lambda, the stopping potential for photoelectric current is 3V03{V}_{0} and when the same surface is illuminated with light of wavelength 2λ,2\lambda, the stopping potential is V0.{V}_{0} . The threshold wavelength of this surface for photoelectric effect is

Options

  1. A6λ6\lambda
  2. B4λ4\lambda
  3. Cλ4\dfrac{\lambda}{4}
  4. Dλ6\dfrac{\lambda}{6}

Correct answer

B. 4λ4\lambda

Step-by-step solution

Using photoelectric equation, hf−hf0=12mv2=eVshf - h{f}_{0} = \dfrac{1}{2}m{v}^{2} = e{V}_{s}
Or \left(\dfrac{hc}{\lambda} - \dfrac{hc}{{\lambda}_{0}}\right) = e{V}_{s}<br/>Forthefirstcase,<br />For the first case,\dfrac{hc}{\lambda} - \dfrac{hc}{{\lambda}_{0}} = e\left(3{V}_{0}\right) ...(i)
For the second case, \dfrac{hc}{2\lambda} -\dfrac{hc}{{\lambda}_{0}} = e\left({V}_{0}\right) ...(ii)
Solving {\lambda}_{0} = 4\lambda
