Radiation of two photons having energies twice and five times the work function of a metal are incident successively on the metal surface.Find out the ratio of maximum velocity of photo electrons emitted in the two cases.
- \(\frac{v_1}{v_2}=\frac{1}{3}\)
- \(\frac{v_1}{v_2} = \frac{1}{4}\)
- \(\frac{v_1}{v_2} = 1
- \(\frac{v_1}{v_2} = \frac{1}{2}\)
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Top Questions on Photoelectric Effect
- A light source of wavelength \( \lambda \) illuminates a metal surface, and electrons are ejected with a maximum kinetic energy of 2 eV. If the same surface is illuminated by a light source of wavelength \( \frac{\lambda}{2} \), then the maximum kinetic energy of ejected electrons will be (The work function of the metal is 1 eV).

Write down Einstein's photoelectric equation. Photons of energies 1 eV and 2.5 eV respectively are incident on a metal plate of work function 0.5 eV. If maximum kinetic energies of emitted photoelectrons are \( k_1 \) and \( k_2 \) respectively and their velocities are \( v_1 \) and \( v_2 \), then find the magnitudes of (i) \( k_1/k_2 \) and (ii) \( v_1/v_2 \).
