    Light of wavelength 500 nm is incident on a metal with work function 2.28 eV. The de-Broglie wavelength of the emitted electron is                                                                                              [NEET (Re) 2015]

    A)  \[<2.8\times {{10}^{-10}}m\]

    B)       \[<2.8\times {{10}^{-9}}m\]

    C)  \[\le 2.8\times {{10}^{-9}}m\]  

    D)               \[\le 2.8\times {{10}^{-12}}m\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    As, energy of photon, \[E=hv\]
    \[E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[E=\frac{6.626\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}{500\times {{10}^{-9}}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[E=\frac{0.0397\times {{10}^{-34}}\times {{10}^{8}}}{{{10}^{-9}}}=0.0397\times {{10}^{-21}}\text{J}\]
    \[E=\frac{0.0397\times {{10}^{-21}}}{1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}=0.0248\times {{10}^{2}}eV\]
    \[=2.48\,eV\]
    According to Einstein's photoelectric emission, we have
    \[K{{E}_{\max }}=R-W=2.48-2.28=0.2eV\]
    For de-Broglie wavelength of the emitted electron,
    \[{{\lambda }_{e\,\min }}=\frac{12.27A}{\sqrt{K{{E}_{\max }}(eV)}}=\frac{12.27}{\sqrt{0.2}}\]
    \[=27.436\overset{{}^\circ }{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]
    \[=27.436\times {{10}^{-10}}m\]
    Thus, minimum wavelength of the emitted electron.
    \[{{\lambda }_{\min }}\,=2.7436\times {{10}^{-9}}\,m\]
    i.e.,       \[\lambda \ge {{\lambda }_{\min }}\]
