  • question_answer
    In a photoemissive cell with executing wavelength \[\lambda \], the fastest electron has speed v. If the exciting wavelength is changed to \[3\lambda /4\], the speed of the fastest emitted electron will be                                       [CBSE PMT 1998]

    A)            \[v\ {{(3/4)}^{1/2}}\]        

    B)            \[v\ {{(4/3)}^{1/2}}\]

    C)            Less than \[v\ {{(4/3)}^{1/2}}\]                                        

    D)            Greater than \[v\ {{(4/3)}^{1/2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       \[h\nu -{{W}_{0}}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{\max }^{2}\Rightarrow \frac{hc}{\lambda }-\frac{hc}{{{\lambda }_{0}}}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{\max }^{2}\]                    \[\Rightarrow hc\left( \frac{{{\lambda }_{0}}-\lambda }{\lambda {{\lambda }_{0}}} \right)=\frac{1}{2}mv_{\max }^{2}\]\[\Rightarrow {{v}_{\max }}=\sqrt{\frac{2hc}{m}\left( \frac{{{\lambda }_{0}}-\lambda }{\lambda {{\lambda }_{0}}} \right)}\]                    When wavelength is \[\lambda \] and velocity is v, then                    \[v=\sqrt{\frac{2hc}{m}\left( \frac{{{\lambda }_{0}}-\lambda }{\lambda {{\lambda }_{0}}} \right)}\]                         ?. (i)                    When wavelength is \[\frac{3\lambda }{4}\] and velocity is v? then                    \[v'=\sqrt{\frac{2hc}{m}\left[ \frac{{{\lambda }_{0}}-(3\lambda /4)}{(3\lambda /4)\times {{\lambda }_{0}}} \right]}\]                                            ?.(ii)                    Divide equation (ii) by (i), we get                    \[\frac{v'}{v}=\sqrt{\frac{[{{\lambda }_{0}}-(3\lambda /4)]}{\frac{3}{4}\lambda {{\lambda }_{0}}}\times \frac{\lambda {{\lambda }_{0}}}{{{\lambda }_{0}}-\lambda }}\]                    \[v'=v{{\left( \frac{4}{3} \right)}^{1/2}}\sqrt{\frac{[{{\lambda }_{0}}-(3\lambda /4)]}{{{\lambda }_{0}}-\lambda }}\] i.e. \[v'>v{{\left( \frac{4}{3} \right)}^{1/2}}\]
