Photons of energy 4.5 eV are incident on a photosensitive material of work function 3 eV. The de Broglie wavelength associated with the photoelectrons emitted with maximum kinetic energy is nearly

  1. A \(10 Å\)
  2. B \(5 Å\)
  3. C \(20 Å\)
  4. D \(15 Å\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(10 Å\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(K.E._{max} = E - \phi = 4.5 \text{ eV} - 3 \text{ eV} = 1.5 \text{ eV}\) \(\lambda = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2m K.E._{max}}} = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \text{ J s}}{\sqrt{2 \times 9.109 \times 10^{-31} \text{ kg} \times 1.5 \times 1.602 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}}}\)…
