NEET2012PhysicsDual Nature of MatterActual
Two radiations of photon energies 1 eV and 2.5 eV , successively illuminate a photosensitive metallic surface of work function 0.5 eV . The ratio of the maximum speeds of the emitted electrons is
Options
- A1: 4
- B1: 2
- C1: 1
- D1: 5
Correct answer
B. 1: 2
Step-by-step solution
We have 1 2 m v_ ^2=E- Here case (i) gathered 1 2 m v_ 1 ^2=(1-0.5) eV 1 2 m v_ 2 ^2=(2.5-0.5) eV gathered Hence, v_ 1 ^2 v_ 2 ^2 = 1 4 v_ 1 v_ 2 = 1 2
