Q23 / 99 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · Structure of Atom
A metal surface is illuminated by light of two different wavelengths and . The maximum speeds of the photoelectrons corresponding to these wavelengths are and respectively. If the ratio and , the work function of the metal is nearly
- Correct answerA3.7 eV
- B3.2 eV
- C2.8 eV
- D2.5 eV
Solution
As
ratio of kinetic energy , as speed are in the ratio
K.E = Energy of incident photon – Work function (W)
.....(i)
and .....(ii)
By solving (i) and (ii)
ratio of kinetic energy , as speed are in the ratio
K.E = Energy of incident photon – Work function (W)
.....(i)
and .....(ii)
By solving (i) and (ii)
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
