    Light of wavelength strikes a photo-sensitive surface and electrons are ejected with kinetic energy E. If. the kinetic energy is to be increased to 2E, the wavelength must be changed to \[\lambda \]where

    A)  \[{{\lambda }^{}}=\frac{\lambda }{2}\]           

    B)  \[{{\lambda }^{}}=2\lambda \]

    C)  \[\frac{\lambda }{2}<{{\lambda }^{}}<\lambda \]         

    D)  \[{{\lambda }^{}}>\lambda \]  

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }-{{W}_{0}}\] and \[2E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }-{{W}_{0}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{\lambda }{\lambda }=\frac{E+W}{2E+{{W}_{0}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\lambda =\lambda \left( \frac{1+{{W}_{0}}/E}{2+{{W}_{0}}/E} \right)\] Since \[\frac{(1+{{W}_{0}}/E)}{(2+{{W}_{0}}/E)}>\frac{1}{2}\] so \[\lambda >\frac{\lambda }{2}\]
