Q.

When photons of energy 4.25 eV strike the surface of a metal A , the ejected  photoelectrons  have maximum kinetic energy TA   eV and de-Broglie wavelength λA  .  The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons liberated from  another metal B by  photons of energy 4.70eV is TB=TA1.50eV . If the de-Broglie wavelength of these  photoelectrons isλB=2λA  , then,

Detailed Solution

In photoelectric effect, maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons is given  by  T=hvϕ
 Thus,
  TA=4.25ϕA ,     (1)  
TB=4.70ϕB   ,     (2)
 Given, 
 TB=TA1.50  ,     (3)
λAλB=h/2mTAh/2mTB=TBTA=12   .   (4)
Solve the equations (3) and (4) to get TA=2  eV  andTB=0.5  eV  . Substitute TA  in  equation (1) to get ϕA=2.25eV  and substitute TB in equation (2) to get ϕB=4.2eV .
