A certain metal when irradiated with light 3.2×10^16 Hz emits photo electrons twice KE

Answered by admin @



Explanation:

E(Total Energy) = E_0(Minimum Energy required for the electron) + K.E(kinetic Energy of Photo electron)

h v=h v_{0}+\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

6.6 \times 10^{-34} \times\left(3.2 \times 10^{16}\right)=E_{0}+K . E

2.112 \times 10^{-17}=E_{0}+K . E \rightarrow(1)

6.6 \times 10^{-34} \times\left(2 \times 10^{16}\right)=E_{0}+2 K . E

1.32 \times 10^{-17}=E_{0}+2 K . E \rightarrow(2)

On solving, equation (1) and (2), we get,

K . E=-7.92 \times 10^{-18} \ \mathrm{J}

On substituting, kinetic energy in equation (1), we get,

2.112 \times 10^{-17}=E_{0}-7.92 \times 10^{-18}

Thus, the minimum energy is,

E_{0}=2.904 \times 10^{-17} \ \mathrm{J}

Now, the total energy is,

E=\left(2.904 \times 10^{-17}\right)+\left(-7.92 \times 10^{-18}\right)

\Rightarrow E=2.112 \times 10^{-17} \ \mathrm{J}

Thus, now the threshold frequency is,

E_{0}=h v_{0}

On substituting the found values, we get,

\Rightarrow 2.904 \times 10^{-17}=\left(6.6 \times 10^{-34}\right) v_{0}

v_{0}=\frac{2.904 \times 10^{-17}}{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}

\therefore v_{0}=4.4 \times 10^{16} \ H z
