The light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on the surface of a metal with work function $\phi$ and emits electrons. What is the maximum velocity of the emitted electrons? [Given: $m=$ mass of electron,$h=$ Planck's constant,$c=$ velocity of light]

  • A
    $\left[\frac{2(hc-\lambda)}{m \lambda}\right]^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • B
    $\left[\frac{2(hc-\phi) \lambda}{mc}\right]^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • C
    $\left[\frac{2(hc-\lambda)}{m \lambda}\right]$
  • D
    $\left[\frac{2(hc-\phi \lambda)}{m \lambda}\right]^{\frac{1}{2}}$

The work function of a photosensitive metal surface is $hv_0$. If a photon of energy $2hv_0$ is incident on this surface,electrons are emitted with a maximum velocity of $4 \times 10^6 \, m/s$. What will be the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons when the energy of the incident photon is increased to $5hv_0$?

$A$ photoelectric material having work-function $\phi_0$ is illuminated with light of wavelength $\lambda$ (where $\lambda < \frac{hc}{\phi_0}$). The fastest photoelectron has a de Broglie wavelength $\lambda_d$. $A$ change in wavelength of the incident light by $\Delta \lambda$ results in a change $\Delta \lambda_d$ in $\lambda_d$. Then the ratio $\frac{\Delta \lambda_d}{\Delta \lambda}$ is proportional to:

When a photon of energy $8 \ eV$ is incident on a metal surface with a threshold frequency of $1.6 \times 10^{15} \ Hz$,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is .......... $eV$. (Given: $h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ Js, 1 \ eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ J$)
