Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
[a] $ {\lambda_{1}}=\frac{hc}{ev_{1}};{\lambda_{2}}=\frac{hc}{ev_{2}}\Rightarrow \frac{{\lambda_{2}}}{{\lambda_{1}}}=\frac{v_{1}}{v_{2}} $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{3}{4}=\frac{v_{1}}{v_{2}}\Rightarrow ( \frac{v_{2}-v_{1}}{v_{1}} )\times 100=\frac{100}{3} $ Hence, P.D. must be increased by $ \frac{100}{3}%. $
