Question

Photons emitted when electrons in a H-atom make transition from a higher energy state to lower energy state, whose difference in angular momentum is $\frac{h}{π}$ , are made to be incident on a sample of sodium metal (work function, $W = 2.3 e V$ ). What will be the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons?

Solution

The correct options are
B $0.25 e V$
D $9.79 e V$
difference in angular momentum = $\frac{h}{π}$ = $(n_{2} - n_{1}) \frac{h}{2 π}$
$∴ (n_{2} - n_{1}) = 2$
only two transitions are possible for which difference in shell energy is more than $2.3 e V$ which are:
$E_{3 \to 1} = 12.09 e V$ and $E_{4 \to 2} = 2.55 e V$
and $K . E = h ν - ϕ$ where, $ϕ$ = work function
so possible K.E. of photoelectrons are $12.09 - 2.3 = 9.79 e V$ and $2.55 - 2.3 = 025 e V$
