Light of wavelength falls on a cathode plate inside a vacuum tube as shown in the figure. The work function of the cathode surface is and the anode is a wire mesh of conducting material kept at a distance d from the cathode. A potential difference V is maintained between the electrodes. If the minimum de Broglie wavelength of the electrons passing through the anode is which of the following statement(s) is(are) true ?
Light of wavelength λ p h falls on a cathode plate inside a vacuum tube as shown in the figure. The work…
- For large potential difference is approximately halved if V is made four times
- increases at the same rate as
- is approximately halved, if d is doubled
- decreases with increase in
Solution
Kinetic energy of reaching the anode will be
