Radiation of wavelength λ is incident on a photocell. The fastest emitted photoelectron has a speed v . If the wavelength is changed to 3 λ 4 , the speed of the fastest emitted photoelectron will be
Options
- A= v 4 3 1 2
- B= v 3 4 1 2
- C> v 4 3 1 2
- D< v 4 3 1 2
Correct answer
C. > v 4 3 1 2
Step-by-step solution
1 2 mv 2 = hc λ - ϕ ...(i) 1 2 mv ' 2 = 4 3 hc λ - ϕ   ...(ii) From Eqn. (i) hc λ = 1 2 mv 2 + ϕ On putting this Eqn. (ii) 1 2 mv ′ 2 = 4 3 1 2 mv 2 + ϕ - ϕ v ' 2 = 4 3 v 2 + 2 ϕ 3 m ⇒ v ' > 4 3 v
