Question 328: Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation

Question

When a light of wavelength $$300 \mathrm{~nm}$$ fall on a photoelectric emitter, photo electrons are emitted. For another emitter light of wavelength $$600 \mathrm{~nm}$$ is just sufficient for liberating photoelectrons. The ratio of the work function of the two emitters is

Accepted Answer

Work function $$\phi_0=\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda_0}$$
$$\begin{aligned}
	herefore \quad \phi_0 & \propto \frac{1}{\lambda_0} \
& \frac{\phi_{01}}{\phi_{0_2}}=\frac{\lambda_{0_2}}{\lambda_{0_1}}=\frac{600}{300}=\frac{2}{1}
\end{aligned}$$
