Q.

The magnetic field associated with a light wave is given, at the origin, by B = B0 [sin(3.14 × 107)ct + sin(6.28 × 107)ct]. If this light falls on a silver plate having a work function of 4.7 eV, what will be the maximum kinetic energy of the photo electrons ? (c = 3 × l08ms1, h = 6.6 × 1034 J-s)

Detailed Solution

Given data:

The magnetic field associated with a light wave is given, at the origin, by B = B0 [sin(3.14 × 107)ct + sin(6.28 × 107)ct]

Detailed solution:

B=B0sinπ×107Ct+B0sin2π×107Ct
since there are twoEM waves with different frequency, to get maximum kinetic energy we take the photon with higher frequency
B1=B0sinπ×107Ctν1=1072C

B2=B0sin2π×107Ctν2=107C
Where c is speed of light  c=3×108 m/sν2>ν1
so KE of photoelectron will be maximum for photon of higher energy. v2=107c Hz

As we know hv=ϕ+KEmax
energy of photon
Eph=hv=6.6×10-34×107×3×108

Eph=6.6×3×10-19 J =6.6×3×10-191.6×10-19eV=12.375eV

KEmax=Eph-ϕ =12.375-4.7=7.675eV7.72eV

Hence , the correct option is A
