    A photon of frequency v causes photoelectric emission from a surface with threshold frequency \[{{v}_{0}}\]. The de Broglie wavelength \[(\lambda )\] of the photoelectron emitted is given by

    A) \[\Delta n=\frac{h}{2m\lambda }\]   

    B) \[\Delta n=\frac{h}{\lambda }\]

    C) \[\left[ \frac{1}{{{v}_{0}}}-\frac{1}{v} \right]=\frac{m{{c}^{2}}}{n}\]

    D) \[\lambda =\sqrt{\frac{h}{2m\Delta v}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] According to the photoelectric equation, \[{{E}_{i}}=1E+KE\] or \[{{E}_{i}}\]= Threshold energy or work function \[+KE\] \[hv=h{{v}_{0}}+\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=h(v-{{v}_{0}})'=h\Delta v\]  ?..(i) We know that \[\lambda =\frac{h}{P}=\frac{h}{mv}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,v=\frac{h}{m\lambda }\] Substituting this value in equation (i), we get \[\frac{1}{2}m\frac{{{h}^{2}}}{{{m}^{2}}{{\lambda }^{2}}}=h\,\,\Delta v\] \[\frac{h}{2m{{\lambda }^{2}}}=\Delta v\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\lambda =\sqrt{\frac{h}{2m\Delta v}}\] Hence the answer is (4)
