The kinetic energy of the electron is E when the incident wavelength is l. To increase the K.E. of the electron to 2E, the incident wavelength must be-
A
2l
B
l/2
C
Eλ+hchcλ
D
None
Answer
Eλ+hchcλ
Explanation
Solution
E = λhc – f0 ;
2E = λ′hc−φ0 or λ2hc−2φ0=λ′hc−φ0
or λ′hc=λ2hc−φ0
or λ′hc=λ2hc+E−λhc
or λ′hc=E+λhc
or λ′hc=λEλ+hc
or l¢ = Eλ+hchcλ
