QAIPMT-2005-Ph-2557: NEET 2005 Physics - Class 12 AIPMT-2005-Ph-2557 Solution: A photosensitive metallic surface has work function, \(h _0\).…

A photosensitive metallic surface has work function, hν0h\nu_0. If photons of energy 2hν02h\nu_0 fall on this surface, the electrons come out with a maximum velocity of 4×1064\times10^6 m/s. When the photon energy is increased to 5hν05h\nu_0, then maximum velocity of photoelectrons will be

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 2×1072\times10^7 m/s
  • B 2×1062\times10^6 m/s
  • C 8×1068\times10^6 m/s
  • D 8×1058\times10^5 m/s

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

2h _ 0 = h _ 0 + 1 2 m ( 4 _ 10 6 ) 2 5h _ 0 = h _ 0 + 1 2 m v 2 _ 4 _ 1 2 m ( 4 _ 10 6 ) 2 = 1 2 m v 2 _ v = 8 _ 10 6 m/s
