A photoelectric material having work-functionϕ0is illuminated with a light of wavelengthλ λ<hcϕ0. The fastest photoelectron has a de Broglie wavelengthλd. A change in wavelength of the incident light byΔλresults in a changeΔλdinλd. The ratioΔλdΔλis proportional to

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

According to the equation of photoelectric effect,

KEmax=hcλ- ϕ0

p22m=hcλ-ϕ0

hλd22m=hcλ-ϕ0

Assuming small changes, differentiating both sides,

h22m-2dλdλd3= -hcλ2 dλ

dλddλ ∝λd3λ2
