Let $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ be the maximum kinetic energies of photo-electrons emitted when two monochromatic beams of wavelength $\lambda_{1}$ and $\lambda_{2}$,respectively,are incident on a metallic surface. If $\lambda_{1} = 3 \lambda_{2}$,then:

  • A
    $K_{1} > \frac{K_{2}}{3}$
  • B
    $K_{1} < \frac{K_{2}}{3}$
  • C
    $K_{1} = \frac{K_{2}}{3}$
  • D
    $K_{2} = \frac{K_{1}}{3}$

The work functions of metals are given as $Na = 1.92 \, eV$,$K = 2.15 \, eV$,$Mo = 4.17 \, eV$,and $Ni = 5.0 \, eV$. Which of these metals will not show photoelectric emission for radiation of wavelength $3300 \, \mathring{A}$ from a $He-Cd$ laser?

If the work function of a metal is $\phi$ and the frequency of the incident light is $\nu$,there is no emission of photoelectrons if:

$A$ photo-emissive substance is illuminated with a radiation of wavelength $\lambda_i$ so that it releases electrons with de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_c$. The longest wavelength of radiation that can emit photoelectrons is $\lambda_0$. The expression for the de-Broglie wavelength is given by ($m$: mass of the electron,$h$: Planck's constant,and $c$: speed of light).
