A moving neutron collides with stationary H–atom in ground state. As a result it excites and then de excites. The corresponding radiation fall on a surface. Having work function σ . The minimum value of required kinetic energy for neutron is E0 and possible minimum value of de Broglie wavelength of emitted photoelectrons is λ0. If neutron hits stationary He+ ion instead of stationary H atom, then minimum value of kinetic energy for neutron is E1. Then
