Question
In a photoemissive cell with executing wavelength λ, the fastest electron has speed v. If the exciting wavelength is electrogen will be
Options
A.v(3/4)1/2
B.v

C.less than v

D.greater than v

Solution
We have from Einsteins photo electric equation.
Vmax =
If wavelength is changed to
then V′max =


i.e., V′max =
(∴ Vmax = v) i.e., v′max >
v
Vmax =

If wavelength is changed to

then V′max =


i.e., V′max =

(∴ Vmax = v) i.e., v′max >
