  • question_answer
    Two radiations of photon energies 1 eV and 2.5 eV, successively illuminate a photosensitive metallic surface of work function 0.5 eV. The ratio of the maximum speeds of the emitted electrons is

    A)  1 : 4      

    B)  1 : 2      

    C)  1 : 1      

    D)  1 : 5

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We have              \[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}_{\max }=E-\phi \] Here case (i)                                       \[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}_{1\,\max }=(1-0.5)eV\]                                 \[\frac{1}{2}mv{{_{2}^{2}}_{\,\max }}=(2.5-0.5)eV\] Hence,                  \[\frac{v_{1}^{2}\max }{v_{2}^{2}\max }=\frac{1}{4}\]                                 \[\frac{{{v}_{1\max }}}{{{v}_{1\max }}}=\frac{1}{2}\]
