When light of wavelength 248 nm falls on a metal of threshold energy 3.0 eV, the de-Broglie wavelength of emitted electrons is ________ Ao. (Round off to the Nearest Integer).

[Use : 3=1.73, h=6.63×10-34 Js; me=9.1×10-31 kg; c=3.0×108 ms-1; 1 eV=1.6×10-19 J]

Answer:
9.00
Solution:

Energy incident =hcλ

=6.63×10-34×3.0×108248×10-9×1.6×10-19 eV

=6.63×3×100248×1.6

=0.05 eV×100=5 eV

Now using

E=ϕ+K.E

5=3+K.E.

K.E.=2eV=3.2×10-19 J

for de Broglie wavelength λ=hmv

K.E.=12mv2

so v=2K.E.m

hence λ=h2K.E.×m

=6.63×10-342×3.2×10-19×9.1×10-31

=6.637.6×10-3410-25=66.3×10-10 m7.6

=8.72×10-10 m

9×10-10 m

=9 Ao
