A certain metallic surface is illuminated by monochromatic radiation of wavelength . The stopping potential for photoelectric current for this radiation is3 V0.If the same surface is illuminated with a radiation of wavelength2λ,the stopping potential isV0.The threshold wavelength of this surface for photoelectric effect is___________λ.

Answer:
4
Solution:

KE=hcλ-ϕhc

e3V0=hcλ0-ϕ  i

eV0=hc2λ0-ϕ  ii

Using i and ii,

ϕ=hc4λ0=hcλt

λt=4λ0
