A photoelectric surface is illuminated successively by monochromatic light of wavelength \(\lambda \text { and } \frac{\lambda}{2}\). If the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in the second case is 3 times that in the first case, the work function of the surface of the material is:

(h = Plank's constant, c = speed of light)

  1. \(\frac{h c}{3 \lambda}\)
  2. \(\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\mathrm{Z} \mathrm{\lambda}}\)
  3. \(\frac{\text { hc }}{\lambda}\)
  4. \(\frac{\text { Zhc }}{\lambda}\)

Answer

(B) hc Z
