A light source of wavelength illuminates a metal surface and electrons are ejected with maximum kinetic energy of 2 eV . If the same surface is illuminated by a light source of wavelength 2, then the maximum kinetic energy of ejected electrons will be (The work function of metal is 1 eV )
- 5 eV
- 3 eV
- 2 eV
- 6 eV
Answer
(1) 5 eV
Solution
hc =K+ =2+1=3 eV
For /2 the photon energy doubles: 6 eV
K' =6-1=5 eV
Answer: (1)
