Photo Electric Effect
Question

If the wavelength of the incident  radiation changes from λ1toλ2 , then the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photo electrons changes from K1toK2 ,then the work function of the emitter surface is

Moderate
Solution

hcλ1=W+K1
dividing both
hcλ2=W+K2
λ2λ1=w+k1w+k2
λ2w+λ2k2=λ1w+λ1w+λ1k1
λ2k2λ1k1=wλ1λ2
w=λ2k2λ1k1λ1λ2=λ1k1λ2k2λ2λ1
