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

When radiation of wavelength \(\lambda\) is used to illuminate a metallic surface, the stopping potential is \(V.\) When the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength \(3 \lambda,\) the stopping potential is \(\frac{ V }{4} .\) If the threshold wavelength for the metallic surface is \(n \lambda\) then value of \(n\) will be......

  1. A \(9\)
  2. B \(3\)
  3. C \(11\)
  4. D \(16\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{ hc }{\lambda}=\frac{ hc }{\lambda_{0}}+ eV\)\(...(i)\) \(\frac{ hc }{3 \lambda}=\frac{ hc }{\lambda_{0}}+\frac{ e \cdot V }{4}\)\(...(ii)\) (multiply by \(4\)) \(\frac{4 hc }{3 \lambda}=\frac{4 hc }{\lambda_{0}}+ eV\)\(...(iii)\) From \((i)\) \(\&\) \((iii)\)…
