Vedclass · Answer

(D) According to Einstein's photoelectric equation: $\frac{hc}{\lambda} = W_0 + \frac{1}{2}mv_{\max}^2$.Assuming the work function $W_0$ is negligible compared to the incident photon energy $\frac{hc}{\lambda}$,we have $\frac{1}{2}mv_{\max}^2 \approx \frac{hc}{\lambda}$.This implies $v_{\max}^2 \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}$,or $v_{\max} \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\lambda}}$.Let the initial wavelength be $\lambda_1 = \lambda$ and the final wavelength be $\lambda_2 = 4\lambda$.The ratio of the maximum velocities is $\frac{v_{\max, 2}}{v_{\max, 1}} = \sqrt{\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2}} = \sqrt{\frac{\lambda}{4\lambda}} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} = \frac{1}{2}$.Thus,the maximum velocity becomes half of its initial value.
