Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`E_(lambda)=(1240)/(400)eV= 3.1 eV`
`E_(lambda)-k(3.10-1.68)eV`
`=1.42 eV`
`Q lt 1.42 eV`

Wave property of electrons implies that they will show diffraction effects. Davission and Germer demonstrated this by diffracting electrons from crystals. The law governing the diffraction from a crystal is obtained by requiring that electron waves reflected from the planes of atoms in a crystal interfere constructively (see figure) The surface of a metal is illuminated with the light of 400 nm .
