In a photoelectric experiment, with light of wavelength `lambda`, the fastest election has speed v. If the exciting wavelength is changed to `(3lambda)/4`, the speed of the fastest emitted electron will become

A

` = v(4/3)^(1/2)`

B

`=v (3/4)^(1/2)`

C

` gt v (4/3)^(1/2)`

D

`lt v (4/3)^(1/2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`hv_0^2 - hv_0 - 1/2 mv^2 therefore 4/3 hv_0 - hv_0 - 1/2 mv.^2`
` therefore (v.^2)/(v^2) = (4/3 v - v_0)/(v - v_0) therefore v. = v sqrt( (4/3 v - v_0)/(v - v_0) ) rArr v. gt v sqrt(4/3)`
