    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 \[4\times {{10}^{6}}m\text{/}s\]. When the photon energy is increased to \[5h{{v}_{0}},\] then maximum velocity of photoelectrons will be

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

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

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

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

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: The solution to our problem consists, in Einsteins photoelectric equation. Einsteins 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 \[\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{{{(4\times {{10}^{6}})}^{2}}}=\frac{4h{{v}_{0}}}{h{{v}_{0}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[{{v}^{2}}=4\times 16\times {{10}^{12}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[{{v}^{2}}=64\times {{10}^{12}}\] \[\therefore \]                  \[v=8\times {{10}^{6}}\,m\text{/}s\] NOTE: The efficiency of photoelectric effect is less than 1% i.e., number of photons less than 1% are capable of ejecting photoelectrons.
