JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 11. Dual nature of radiation and matter

In a photoelectric effect experiment the threshold wavelength of incident light is \(380\, nm\), If the wavelength of the incident light is \(260\,nm\), the maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons will be: .............. \(eV\) Given \(E\) (in \(eV\)) \( = \frac{{1237}}{{\lambda \left( {in\,nm} \right)}}\)

  1. A \(15.1\)
  2. B \(1.5\)
  3. C \(4.5\)
  4. D \(3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1.5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{K}_{\max }=\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda}-\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda_{0}}\) \(\Rightarrow K_{\max }=h c\left(\frac{\lambda_{0}-\lambda}{\lambda \lambda_{0}}\right)\) \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{K}_{\max }=(1237)\left(\frac{380-260}{380 \times 260}\right)\) \(=1.5 \mathrm{eV}\)
