A photoelectric surface is illuminated successively by monochromatic light of wavelength λ and λ 2 . If the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in the second case is 3 times that in the first case, the work function of the surface of the material is: ( h = Planck's constant, c = speed of light)

Question

A photoelectric surface is illuminated successively by monochromatic light of wavelength λ and λ 2 . If the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in the second case is 3 times that in the first case, the work function of the surface of the material is: ( h = Planck's constant, c = speed of light), h c λ, 2 h c λ, h c 3 λ, h c 2 λ

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

k 1 = h c λ - ψ k 2 = 3 k 1 = 2 h c λ - ψ = 3 h c λ - 3 ψ So 2 ψ = h c λ So ψ = h c 2 λ
