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

When photons of wavelength \(\lambda _1\)  are incident on an isolated sphere, the corresponding stopping potential is found to be \(V.\)  When photons of wavelength \(\lambda _2\) are used, the corresponding stopping potential was thrice that of the above value . If light of wavelength \(\lambda _3\) is used then find the stopping potential for this case

  1. A \(\frac{{hc}}{e}\left[ {\frac{1}{{{\lambda _3}}} + \frac{1}{{{\lambda _2}}} - \frac{1}{{{\lambda _1}}}} \right]\)
  2. B \(\frac{{hc}}{e}\left[ {\frac{1}{{{\lambda _3}}} + \frac{1}{{{2\lambda _2}}} - \frac{1}{{{\lambda _1}}}} \right]\)
  3. C \(\frac{{hc}}{e}\left[ {\frac{1}{{{\lambda _3}}} - \frac{1}{{{\lambda _2}}} - \frac{1}{{{\lambda _1}}}} \right]\)
  4. D \(\frac{{hc}}{e}\left[ {\frac{1}{{{\lambda _3}}} + \frac{1}{{{2\lambda _2}}} - \frac{3}{{{2\lambda _1}}}} \right]\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{{hc}}{e}\left[ {\frac{1}{{{\lambda _3}}} + \frac{1}{{{2\lambda _2}}} - \frac{3}{{{2\lambda _1}}}} \right]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From Einstein's photoelectric equation, we have \(\frac{h c}{\lambda_{1}}=\frac{h c}{\lambda_{0}}+e V\) ..... \((1)\) \(\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda_{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda_{0}}+3 \mathrm{eV}\) ..... \((2)\)…
