Question

When photons of energy 4.25eV strike the surface of a metal A, the ejected photoelectrons have maximum kinetic energy of KA eV and de Broglie wavelength λA. The maximum kinetic energy of photo electrons liberated from another metal B by photons of energy 4.70eV is KB=(KA1.5)eV. If the de Broglie wavelength of these photoelectrons is λB=2λA then
  1. the work function of A is 2.25 eV
  2. the work function of B is 4.20 eV
  3. KA=2.00 eV
  4. KB=2.75 eV

A
KB=2.75 eV
B
the work function of A is 2.25 eV
C
the work function of B is 4.20 eV
D
KA=2.00 eV
Solution
Verified by Toppr

De Broglie wavelength λ=hp and kinetic energy, K=p22m
Thus, KAKB=P2AP2B=λ2Bλ2A=4 as λB=2λA
Given, KB=(KA1.5)=4KB1.5KB=0.5eV
Thus, KA=4×0.5=2.00eV

From photo-electric effect:
Work function of A =4.25KA=4.252.00=2.25eV
and work function of B =4.70KB=4.700.5=4.20eV
Thus, only the option D is wrong.
