A metal exposed to light of wavelength 800 nm and and emits photoelectrons with a certain kinetic energy. The maximum kinetic energy of photo-electron doubles when light of wavelength 500 nm is used. The workfunction of the metal is : (Take hc =1230eV−nm ).

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 1.537 eV
  • B 2.46 eV
  • C 0.615 eV
  • D 1.23 eV

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

∵ Km=hcλ−ϕ

⇒K=1230800−ϕ

and, 2K=1230500−ϕ

⇒2×1230800−2ϕ=1230500−ϕ

⇒ϕ=0.615eV
