                    A photosensitive metallic surface has work function, \[h\,{{v}_{0}}\]. If photons of energy \[2h{{v}_{0}}\] fall on this surface, the electrons come out with a maximum velocity of \[4\times {{10}^{6}}\,m/s\]. When the photon energy is increased to \[5\,h{{v}_{0}}\], then maximum velocity of photoelectrons will be:                                                                          

    A)                 \[2\times {{10}^{6}}\,m/s\]

    B)                 \[2\times {{10}^{7}}\,m/s\]

    C)                 \[8\times {{10}^{5}}\,m/s\]

    D)                 \[8\times {{10}^{6}}\,m/s\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Key Idea: The solution to our problem consists in Einstein?s photoelectric equation.                 Einstein?s photoelectric equation can be written as                 \[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=hv-\phi \]                 \[\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}m\times {{(4\times {{10}^{6}})}^{2}}=2h{{v}_{0}}-h{{v}_{0}}....(i)\]                 \[and\,\,\frac{1}{2}m\times {{v}^{2}}=5h{{v}_{0}}-h{{v}_{0}}....(ii)\]                 Dividing   Eq. (ii) by (i), we get                 \[\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{{{(4\times {{10}^{6}})}^{2}}}=\frac{4h{{v}_{0}}}{h{{v}_{0}}}\] \[\Rightarrow {{v}^{2}}=4\times 16\times {{10}^{12}}\] \[\Rightarrow {{v}^{2}}=64\times {{10}^{12}}\] \[\therefore v=8\times {{10}^{6}}\,m/s\] Note:    The efficiency of photoelectric effect is less than 1% i.e., number of photons less than 1% are capable of ejecting photoelectrons.
