    When 1 cm thick surface is illuminated with light of wavelength X, the stopping potential is V. When the same surface is illuminated by light of wavelength 2X, the stopping potential is V/3. Threshold wavelength for metallic surface is

    A)                                                                                                               \[4\lambda /3\]                                

    B)                                                                                                                \[4\lambda\]

    C)                                                                                                                  \[6\lambda\]                                

    D)                                                                                                             \[8\lambda /3\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     According to the questions                                                         \[eV=hc\left( \frac{1}{\lambda }-\frac{1}{{{\lambda }_{0}}} \right)\]                                 ?.(i) And                                      \[\frac{eV}{3}=hc\left( \frac{1}{2\lambda }-\frac{1}{{{\lambda }_{0}}} \right)\]                                                                                                                                                     ?(ii) Dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we get \[3=\frac{\left( \frac{1}{\lambda }-\frac{1}{{{\lambda }_{0}}} \right)}{\left( \frac{1}{2\lambda }-\frac{1}{{{\lambda }_{0}}} \right)}\] Or         \[3\left( \frac{1}{2\lambda }-\frac{1}{{{\lambda }_{0}}} \right)=\frac{1}{\lambda }-\frac{1}{{{\lambda }_{0}}}\] Or                       \[\frac{3}{2\lambda }-\frac{1}{\lambda }=\frac{3}{{{\lambda }_{0}}}-\frac{1}{{{\lambda }_{0}}}\] Or                                                                     \[\frac{1}{2\lambda }=\frac{2}{{{\lambda }_{0}}}\] Threshold wavelength for metallic surface,                                                                                              \[{{\lambda }_{0}}=4\lambda\]
