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

When photon of energy \(4.0\; eV\) strikes the surface of a metal \(\mathrm{A}\), the ejected photoelectrons have maximum kinetic energy \(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{A}}\; eV\) end de-Broglie wavelength \(\lambda_{\mathrm{A}} .\) The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons liberated from another metal \(\mathrm{B}\) by photon of energy \(4.50 \;eV\) is \(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{B}}=\left(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{A}}-1.5\right)\;eV\). If the de-Broglie wavelength of these photoelectrons \(\lambda_{B}=2 \lambda_{A}\) then the work function of metal \(\mathrm{B}\) is ............. \(eV\)

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda_{\mathrm{B}}=2 \lambda_{\mathrm{A}}\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{h}}{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{B}} \mathrm{m}}}=\frac{2 \mathrm{h}}{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{m}}}\) \(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{A}}=4 \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{B}}\) and…
