Question

When protons of energy 4.25 eV strike the surface of a metal A, the ejected photoelectrons have maximum kinetic energy $T_{A}$ expressed in eV and de-Broglie wavelength $λ_{A}$ . The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons liberated from another metal B by photons of energy 4.70 eV is $T_{B}$ = ( $T_{A}$ – 1.50 eV). If the de-Broglie wavelength of these photoelectrons is $λ_{B} = 2 λ_{A}$ , then

Work function of A is 2.25 eV

Solution

The correct options are
A Work function of A is 2.25 eV
B Work function of B is 4.20 eV
C $T_{A}$ = 2.0 eV
$K_{m a x} = E - W T_{A} = 4.25 - W_{A} G i v e n T_{B} = T_{A} - 1.50 = 4.70 - W_{B} W_{B} - W_{A} = 1.15 e V λ \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{K}}, \frac{λ_{B}}{λ_{A}} = \sqrt{\sqrt{\frac{K_{A}}{K_{B}}}} 2 = \sqrt{\frac{T_{A}}{T_{A} - 1.5}} \Rightarrow T_{A} = 2 e V W_{A} = 2.25 e V, W_{B} = 4.20 e V, T_{B} = 0.50 e V$
