A certain metallic surface is illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength, The stopping potential for photoelectric current for this light is If the same surface is illuminated with light of wavelength the stopping potential is The threshold wavelength for this surface for photoelectric effect is
To solve this problem, we will use the photoelectric effect equation:The stopping potential is related to the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons:where is the threshold wavelength.Given:• For wavelength the stopping potential is • For wavelength the stopping potential is Subtract equation (2) from equation (1):From this, we can express in terms of Substitute into equation (2):Thus, the threshold wavelength is:Since we have:Therefore, This corresponds to Option 1.
