Radiation corresponding to the transition n = 4 to n = 2 in hydrogen atoms falls on a certain metal (work function = 2.0 e V ). The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons will be:
Options
- A0.55 e V
- B2.55 e V
- C4.45 e V
- DNone
Correct answer
A. 0.55 e V
Step-by-step solution
E n = - 13.6 n 2 e V ; E 2 = - 13.6 2 2 ; E 4 = - 13.6 4 2 e V / a t o m Δ E = E 4 - E 2 = 2.55 e V Absorbed energy = work function of metal + KE 2.55 = 2 + K . E . K . E . = 0.55 e V
