The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to establish the relationship between the stopping potentials \( V_1 \) and \( V_2 \) for the two different wavelengths of incident light in the photoelectric effect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Stopping Potential**: The stopping potential \( V_0 \) is related to the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons. The equation for stopping potential is given by: \[ eV_0 = \frac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi \] where \( \phi \) is the work function of the metal, \( h \) is Planck's constant, \( c \) is the speed of light, and \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of the incident light. 2. **Expression for \( V_1 \)**: For the first wavelength \( \lambda \): \[ eV_1 = \frac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi \] Rearranging gives: \[ V_1 = \frac{hc}{e\lambda} - \frac{\phi}{e} \] 3. **Expression for \( V_2 \)**: For the second wavelength \( \frac{\lambda}{2} \): \[ eV_2 = \frac{hc}{\frac{\lambda}{2}} - \phi \] This simplifies to: \[ eV_2 = \frac{2hc}{\lambda} - \phi \] Rearranging gives: \[ V_2 = \frac{2hc}{e\lambda} - \frac{\phi}{e} \] 4. **Comparing \( V_1 \) and \( V_2 \)**: Now we have: \[ V_1 = \frac{hc}{e\lambda} - \frac{\phi}{e} \] \[ V_2 = \frac{2hc}{e\lambda} - \frac{\phi}{e} \] 5. **Finding the Relation**: To compare \( V_1 \) and \( V_2 \), we can multiply \( V_1 \) by 2: \[ 2V_1 = 2\left(\frac{hc}{e\lambda} - \frac{\phi}{e}\right) = \frac{2hc}{e\lambda} - \frac{2\phi}{e} \] 6. **Subtracting \( 2V_1 \) from \( V_2 \)**: Now, we can find the difference: \[ V_2 - 2V_1 = \left(\frac{2hc}{e\lambda} - \frac{\phi}{e}\right) - \left(\frac{2hc}{e\lambda} - \frac{2\phi}{e}\right) \] Simplifying this gives: \[ V_2 - 2V_1 = \frac{2\phi}{e} - \frac{\phi}{e} = \frac{\phi}{e} \] 7. **Conclusion**: Since \( \frac{\phi}{e} > 0 \), we conclude that: \[ V_2 > 2V_1 \] ### Final Result: Thus, the relation between \( V_1 \) and \( V_2 \) is: \[ V_2 > 2V_1 \]
