If $v_0$ is the threshold frequency of a metal X , the correct relation between de Broglie wavelength…
- $\lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{v-v_0}}$
- $\lambda \propto \frac{1}{\left(v-v_0\right)^{\frac{1}{4}}}$
- $\lambda \propto \frac{1}{\left(v-v_0\right)^{\frac{3}{4}}}$
- $\lambda \propto \sqrt{v-v_0}$
Solution
From photoelectric effect $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{KE}=\mathrm{hv}-\mathrm{hv}_0 \\ & \mathrm{KE}=\mathrm{h}\left(\mathrm{v}-\mathrm{v}_0\right) \\ & \therefore \lambda=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{mh}\left(v-v_0\right)}} \\ & \lambda=\sqrt{\frac{h}{2 \mathrm{~m}\left(v-v_0\right)}} \\ & \lambda \propto\left(\frac{1}{v-v_0}\right)^{1 / 2} \end{aligned}$
