In a photoelectric experiment, with light of wavelength λ, the fastest electron has speed v. If the exciting wavelength is changed to 3λ/4, the speed of the fastest emitted electron will become-

a
v34
b
43v
c
less than v43
d
greater than v43

detailed solution

Correct option is D

12mv2=hcλ−ϕ12mv'2=hc(3λ/4)−ϕ=4hc3λ−ϕ Clearly, v'>43v
