The correct Answer is:
To find the de Broglie wavelength of the emitted electron when light of wavelength \( \lambda \) falls on a metal surface, we can use the photoelectric effect and de Broglie's wavelength formula. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Photoelectric Effect The photoelectric effect states that when light of sufficient energy (or frequency) hits a metal surface, it can eject electrons. The energy of the incident light can be expressed using the equation: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] where: - \( E \) is the energy of the photon, - \( h \) is Planck's constant, - \( c \) is the speed of light, - \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of the light. ### Step 2: Apply the Photoelectric Equation According to Einstein's photoelectric equation: \[ E = \phi + KE \] where: - \( \phi \) is the work function (minimum energy required to eject an electron), - \( KE \) is the kinetic energy of the emitted electron. The work function can also be expressed in terms of the threshold wavelength \( \lambda_0 \): \[ \phi = \frac{hc}{\lambda_0} \] Thus, we can rewrite the photoelectric equation as: \[ \frac{hc}{\lambda} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_0} + KE \] ### Step 3: Solve for Kinetic Energy Rearranging the equation gives us the kinetic energy of the emitted electron: \[ KE = \frac{hc}{\lambda} - \frac{hc}{\lambda_0} \] Factoring out \( hc \): \[ KE = hc \left( \frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0} \right) \] ### Step 4: Use the Kinetic Energy to Find the Velocity The kinetic energy of the emitted electron can also be expressed as: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] Setting the two expressions for kinetic energy equal gives: \[ \frac{1}{2} mv^2 = hc \left( \frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0} \right) \] ### Step 5: Solve for Velocity From the above equation, we can solve for \( v \): \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{2hc}{m} \left( \frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0} \right)} \] ### Step 6: Find the de Broglie Wavelength The de Broglie wavelength \( \lambda_d \) of the emitted electron is given by: \[ \lambda_d = \frac{h}{p} \] where \( p \) is the momentum of the electron. The momentum \( p \) can be expressed as: \[ p = mv \] Thus, \[ \lambda_d = \frac{h}{mv} \] Substituting \( v \) from Step 5: \[ \lambda_d = \frac{h}{m} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{2hc}{m} \left( \frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0} \right)}} \] This simplifies to: \[ \lambda_d = \frac{h \sqrt{m}}{\sqrt{2hc} \sqrt{\left( \frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0} \right)}} \] ### Final Expression After simplification, we can express the de Broglie wavelength of the emitted electron as: \[ \lambda_d = \frac{h \lambda_0 \lambda}{2mc(\lambda_0 - \lambda)^{1/2}} \]

To find the de Broglie wavelength of the emitted electron when light of wavelength \( \lambda \) falls on a metal surface, we can use the photoelectric effect and de Broglie's wavelength formula. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Photoelectric Effect The photoelectric effect states that when light of sufficient energy (or frequency) hits a metal surface, it can eject electrons.
