A metal surface is illuminated by light of two different wavelengths 248 nm and 310 nm . The maximum speeds of the photoelectrons corresponding to these wavelengths areu1andu2respectively. If the ratiou1u2=21and hc = 1240 eVnm , the work function of the metal is nearly

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

AsK.E∝v2
ratio of kinetic energy=41, as speed are in the ratio=21
K.E = Energy of incident photon – Work function (W)
4 KE=1240248-W.....(i)
andKE=1240310-W.....(ii)
By solving (i) and (ii)
W=3.7 eV
