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

When a metallic surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength \(\lambda\) , the stopping potential is \(V.\) If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength \(2\lambda\), the stopping potential is \(\frac{V}{4}\). The threshold wavelength for the metallic surface is 

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3\lambda\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, \(e V_{s}=\frac{h c}{\lambda}-\frac{h c}{\lambda_{0}}\)
