                    In a photo-emissive cell, with exciting 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:    

    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 :

                    Einstein?s photoelectric equation is given                 \[{{E}_{k}}=E-W\]                 but         \[{{E}_{k}}=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\] and \[E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }\]                 \[\therefore \frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=\frac{hc}{\lambda }-W\]                 Suppose v? be the new speed, when \[\lambda \] is changed to \[\frac{3\lambda }{4}\],                 \[\therefore \frac{1}{2}mv{{'}^{2}}=\frac{hc}{(3\lambda /4)}-W\]                 \[or\frac{1}{2}mv{{'}^{2}}=\frac{4}{3}\frac{hc}{\lambda }-W\]                 Dividing Eq. (ii) by Eq. (i), we get                 \[\frac{v{{'}^{2}}}{{{v}^{2}}}=\frac{\frac{4}{3}\frac{hc}{\lambda }-W}{\frac{hc}{\lambda }-W}\]                 \[=\frac{\frac{4}{3}\frac{hc}{\lambda }-\frac{4}{3}W+\frac{1}{3}W}{\frac{hc}{\lambda }-W}\]                 \[=\frac{4}{3}+\frac{W}{3\left( \frac{hc}{\lambda }-W \right)}>\frac{4}{3}\]                 \[\therefore \frac{v'}{v}>\sqrt{\frac{4}{3}}\,\,or\sqrt{\frac{4}{3}}\,v\]
