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

When a certain photosensitive surface is illuminated with monochromatic light of frequency \(v\) , the stopping potential for the photo current is \(-V_0/2.\) When the surface is illuminated by monochromatic light of frequency \(v/2,\) the stopping potential is \(-V_0.\) The threshold frequency for photoelectric emission is

  1. A \(\frac {5v}{3}\)
  2. B \(\frac {4}{3}\,v\)
  3. C \(2\,v\)
  4. D \(\frac {3v}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac {3v}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({\text{e}}{{\text{V}}_{\text{s}}} = {\text{hv}} - \phi \) \(\left\{ {\frac{{ - e{V_0}}}{2} = hv - \phi } \right\} \times 2\) ..... \((1)\) \( - e{V_0} = \frac{{hv}}{2} - \phi \) ..... \((2)\) \(0 = 2hv - 2\phi - \frac{{hv}}{2} + \phi \) \(\phi = \frac{{3hv}}{2}\)…
