The photoelectric threshold wavelength of silver is3250×10–10 m. The velocity of the electron ejected from a silver surface by ultraviolet light of wavelength2536×10–10 mis:-

Given h=4.14×10-15 eV s  and c=3×108 m s-1NEET 2017

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

λ0=3250×10-10 m

λ=2536×10-10  m

ϕ=hcλ0=1242 eV-nm325 nm=3.82 eV

hν=hcλ=1242 eV-nm253.6 nm=4.89 eV

By Einstein’s photoelectric equation

Kmax=hcλ- hc λ 0

KEmax=4.89-3.82 eV=1.07 eV

12mv2=1.07×1.6×10-19

v= 2×1.07×1.6×10-199.1×10-31

v=0.6×106 m/s
