Two incident radiations having energies two times and ten times of the work function of a metal surface, produce photoelectric effect. The ratio of maximum velocities of emitted photo electrons respectively is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1: 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{1}{2} m v_{1}^{2}=2 \phi_{0}-\phi_{0}\)
\(\frac{1}{2} m v_{2}^{2}=10 \phi_{0}-\phi_{0}\)
\(\frac{v_{1}^{2}}{v_{2}^{2}}=\frac{1}{9}\)
\(\therefore \frac{v_{1}}{v_{2}}=\frac{1}{3}\)
