    Energy required to remove an electron from aluminium surface is 4.2 eV. If light of wavelength 2000 Å falls on the surface, the velocity of the fastest electron ejected from the surface will be                                       [AMU 1999]

    A)            \[8.4\times {{10}^{5}}m/sec\]                                          

    B)            \[7.4\times {{10}^{5}}m/sec\]

    C)            \[6.4\times {{10}^{5}}m/sec\]                                          

    D)            \[8.4\times {{10}^{6}}m/sec\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       By using \[E={{W}_{0}}+\frac{1}{2}mv_{\max }^{2}\] where \[E=\frac{12375}{2000}=6.18\ eV\] \[\Rightarrow 6.18\ eV=4.2\ eV+\frac{1}{2}mv_{\max }^{2}\] \[\Rightarrow 1.98\ eV=\frac{1}{2}mv_{\max }^{2}\]                    Þ \[1.98\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.1\times {{10}^{-31}}\times v_{\max }^{2}\]            \[\Rightarrow {{v}_{\max }}=8.4\times {{10}^{5}}\ m/s\]
