The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons gets doubled


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 300 People


The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons gets doubled when the wavelength of light incident on the surface changes from 1 to 2. establish a relation for threshold wavelength th in terms of 1 and 2?

AnswEr :-

Einstein's photoelectric equation states,

\sf {h\nu=W_0 +KE}

Where,

\sf {\nu - Frequency\ of\ incident\ light}\\\\\sf {W_0 - Work\ potential\ of\ the\ metal}\\\\\sf {KE - Maximum\ kinetic\ energy\ of\ released\ electron}

From given data,

\sf {\frac{hc}{\lambda_1} = KE + W_o}\\\\\sf {\frac{hc}{\lambda_2} = 2KE + W_o}\\\\

Eliminating KE, work function is given by:

\sf {W_o = \frac{2hc}{\lambda_1} - \frac{hc}{\lambda_2}}

Threshold wavelength is found by:

\sf {\frac{hc}{\lambda_o} = W_o}

Using above equations,

\sf {\lambda_o = \frac{\lambda_1\lambda_2}{2\lambda_2-\lambda_1} }
