Detailed Solution
if de Broglie wavelength becomes halved momentum becomes doubled and kinetic energy becomes 4 times and if incident wavelength decreases by 60% it means it becomes 40% λ becomes 410λ frequency becomes 104ν Eienstein equation hν =w+k----1 second time h 104ν = w+4k----2 solving w=0.5 hν here hν= 2ev
