When the light of frequency 2 0 (where 0 is threshold frequency), is incident on a metal plate, the maximum velocity of electrons emitted is v1. When the frequency of the incident radiation is increased to 5 0, the maximum velocity of electrons emitted from the same plate is v2. The ratio of v1 to v2 is
- 1 : 2
- 1 : 4
- 4 : 1
- 2 : 1
Answer
(1) 1 : 2
Solution
Einstein's equation: 12 mvmax2 = h( - 0)
12mv12 = h(2 0 - 0) = h 0
12mv22 = h(5 0 - 0) = 4h 0
v12v22 = 14
v1 : v2 = 1 : 2
Answer: (1)
