Dual Nature Of Light Question 403

Question: For photoelectric emission from certain metal the cut-off frequency is v. If radiation of frequency 2v impinges on the metal plate, the maximum possible velocity of the emitted electron will be (m is the electron mass)

Options:

A) $ \sqrt{hv/m} $

B) $ \sqrt{2hv/m} $

C) $ 2\sqrt{hv/m} $

D) $ \sqrt{hv/( 2m )} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] From photo-electric equation, $ hv’=hv+{K_{\max }} $ ?.(i) $ 2.hv=hv+\frac{1}{2}mV_{\max }^{2}\text{ }[ \therefore v’=2v ] $
$ \Rightarrow hv=\frac{1}{2}mV_{\max }^{2}\Rightarrow {V_{\max }}=\sqrt{\frac{2hv}{m}} $
