Question

Light of wavelength 500 nm is incident on a metal with a work function 2.28 eV. The de Borglie wavelength of the emitted electron is:
  1. <2.8×109m
  2. 2.8×1012m
  3. 2.8×109m
  4. <2.8×1010m

A
<2.8×1010m
B
2.8×109m
C
2.8×1012m
D
<2.8×109m
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Energy of the photon: E=124005000=2.48eV
Work function: ϕ=2.28eV
KEmax=Eϕ=2.482.28=0.2eV
For electron, λmin=h2m(KE)max=28A0
Hence, λ>28A0=2.8×109m
