A Cs plate is irradiated with a light of wavelength `lamda=(hc)/(phi)`,`phi` being the work function of the plate, h Plank's constant, and c the velocity of light in vacuum. Assume all the photoelectron are moving perpendicular to the plate toward a YDSE setup when accelerated through a potential difference V. Take charge on a proton `=e` and moss of an electron `=m`. Read the paragraph carefully and answer the following question:
Q. If the wavelength of light used in photoemission is less that `lamda`, then the fringe width will

A

increase

B

decrease

C

remain same

D

cannot be dicided

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

As v increases, `lamda` decreases.
