JEE Main & Advanced Physics Photo Electric Effect, X- Rays & Matter Waves Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

  • question_answer
    A photon of frequency/causes the emission of a photoelectron of maximum kinetic energy \[{{E}_{k}}\] from a metal. If a photon of frequency 3f is  incident on the same metal, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron     

    A) equals \[3{{E}_{k}}\]                

    B) is greater than \[3{{E}_{k}}\]

    C) is less than \[3{{E}_{k}}\]

    D) may be equal to, less than or, greater than \[3{{E}_{k}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] We write Einstein's equation for the photoelectric effect, \[hf-W={{E}_{K}}\]                                            ....(i) \[3hf-W=E{{'}_{K}}\]                                          ...(ii) From (i) and (ii), we get, \[E{{'}_{K}}-3{{E}_{K}}=2W>0.\]
