The photoelectric threshold wavelength for silver is `lamda_(0)`. The energy of the electron ejected from the surface of silver by an incident wavelength `lamda(lamdaltlamda_(0))` will be

A

`hc(lamda_(0)-lamda)`

B

`(hc)/(lamda_(0)-lamda)`

C

`(h)/(c)/((lamda_(0)-lamda)/(lamdalamda_(0)))`

D

`hc((lamda_(0)-lamda)/(lamdalamda_(0)))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

(d) : According to Einstein's photoelectric equation
`K=(hc)/(lamda)-(hc)/(lamda_(0))=hc((1)/(lamda)-(1)/(lamda_(0)))=((lamda_(0)-lamda)/(lamdalamda_(0)))`
