Light of wavelength lambda strikes a pho...

Light of wavelength `lambda` strikes a photo - sensitive surface and electrons are ejected with kinetic energy is to be increased to `2 E` , the wavelength must be changed to `lambda'` where

A

`lambda'=lambda/2`

B

`lambda'=2lambda`

C

`lambda' lt lambda`

D

`lambda/2 lt lambda' lt lambda`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

`E_(k)=(hc)/lambda-phi_(0)` and `2E_(k)=(hc)/(lambda')-phi_(0)`. These relations will be satisfied is `lambda'gtlambda//2` and `lambda'ltlambda`
