When a piece of metal is illuminated by monochromatic light of wavelength λ , then stopping potential is 3 V s . When the same surface is illuminated by the light of wavelength 2 λ , then stopping potential becomes V s . The value of threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission will be
Options
- A4 λ
- B8 λ
- C4 3 λ
- D6 λ
Correct answer
A. 4 λ
Step-by-step solution
According to Einstein's photoelectric equation e V = h c 1 λ - 1 λ 0 Ist case 3 e V s = h c 1 λ - 1 λ 0 ...(i) IInd case e V s = h c [ 1 2 λ - 1 λ 0 ] ...(ii) Dividing Eq. (i)by Eq. (ii), we get λ 0 = 4 λ
