Question:

Light of wavelength λ strikes a photo-sensitive surface and electrons are ejected with kinetic energy E. If the kinetic energy is to be increased to 2E, the wavelength must be changed to λ' where -

Options:

$λ'=\frac{λ}{2}$

$λ'=2λ$

$\frac{λ}{2}<λ'<λ$

$λ'>λ$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{λ}{2}<λ'<λ$

Explanation:

If $λ'=λ/2  ⇒E_2>2E_1$

But here $E_2>2E_1$  So $λ'=λ/2$

So answer is $λ>λ'>λ/2$
