Matter Waves: de Broglie Wavelength

An electromagnetic wave of wavelength 'λ\lambda' is incident on a photosensitive surface of negligible work function. If 'm' mass is of photoelectron emitted from the surface has de-Broglie wavelength λ\lambdad, then:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Negligible work function: hcλ=p22m\dfrac{hc}{\lambda} = \dfrac{p^2}{2m} with p=hλdp = \dfrac{h}{\lambda_d}.
  2. hcλ=h22mλd2⇒λ=(2mch)λd2\dfrac{hc}{\lambda} = \dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda_d^2} \Rightarrow \lambda = \left(\dfrac{2mc}{h}\right)\lambda_d^2
  3. So the answer is (d).
