The kinetic energy of an emitted electron is $E$ when the light incident on the metal has wavelength $\lambda$. To double the kinetic energy,the incident light must have a wavelength of:

  • A
    $\frac{ hc }{ E \lambda- hc }$
  • B
    $\frac{ hc \lambda}{ E \lambda+ hc }$
  • C
    $\frac{ h \lambda}{ E \lambda+ hc }$
  • D
    $\frac{ hc \lambda}{ E \lambda- hc }$

Photons of energy $7 \,eV$ are incident on two metals $A$ and $B$ with work functions $6 \,eV$ and $3 \,eV$,respectively. The minimum de-Broglie wavelengths of the emitted photoelectrons with maximum kinetic energies are $\lambda_A$ and $\lambda_B$ respectively,where $\lambda_A / \lambda_B$ is nearly

Light of wavelength '$\lambda$' which is less than threshold wavelength is incident on a photosensitive material. If incident wavelength is decreased so that emitted photoelectrons are moving with some velocity, then the stopping potential:

From a metallic surface,photoelectric emission is observed for frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ $(v_1 > v_2)$ of the incident light. The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio $1:x$. Hence,the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is

The stopping potential $V_0$ for photoelectric emission from a metal surface is plotted along the $Y-$ axis and the frequency $\nu$ of incident light along the $X-$ axis. $A$ straight line is obtained as shown. Planck's constant $h$ is given by:
