When a certain metallic surface is illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength the stopping potential for photoelectric current is and when the same surface is illuminated with light of wavelength the stopping potential is The threshold wavelength of this surface for photoelectric effect is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Using photoelectric equation,
Or \left(\dfrac{hc}{\lambda} - \dfrac{hc}{{\lambda}_{0}}\right) = e{V}_{s}\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
