Threshold frequency of a metal is fo. When light of frequency v = 2fo is incident on the metal plate, maximum velocity of e- emitted is v1, when frequency of incident radiation is 5fo, maximum velocity of emitted e- is v2. then the ratio of v1/v2 is

Correct answer: B. 1:2

  • A. 1:4
  • B. 1:2
  • C. 2:1
  • D. 3:2

Explanation

When the frequency of incident radiation changes from 2fo to 5fo, the maximum velocity of emitted electrons changes in an inverse proportion. Therefore, the correct ratio of v1/v2 is 1:2. Option A, C, and D do not align with this relationship.

About Atomic Structure

Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
