Light of wavelength λph falls on a cathode plate inside a vacuum tube as shown in the figure. The work function of the cathode surface is ϕ and the anode is a wire mesh of conducting material kept at a distance d from the cathode. A potential difference V is maintained between the electrodes. If the minimum de Broglie wavelength of the electrons passing through the anode is λe, Which of the following statement(s) is(are)true?

An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya

λe increases at the same rate as λph for λph

λedecreases with increases in ϕand λph

λeis approximately halved, if d is doubled

For large potential difference (v>>ϕ/e), λe is approximately halved if V made four times

answer is D.

Detailed Solution

K.E of electron just after ejection =hcλph-ϕK.E of electron when it reaches anode =Kmax=hcλph-ϕ+Ve minimum de Broglie wavelength λe=h2Kmaxmλe=h2hcλph-ϕ+Vem Given that Ve >>ϕ (hcλph is also small for visible light)∴λeα1V ⇒ when V is made 4 times, λe will be halved.
