In a photoelectric effect experiment, the threshold wavelength of light is 380 nm . If the wavelength of incident light is 260 nm , the maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons will be
Given E (in  eV ) =1237λ(in nm)
  1. 4.5 eV
  2. 3.0 eV
  3. 1.5 eV
  4. 15.1 eV

Solution

From Einstein’s photoelectric equation,
K.Emax=hcλ-hcλ0 (here, λ0= threshold wavelength)
=1237260-1237380
=1237380-260380×260
=1.5eV
