Let $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ be the maximum kinetic energies of photo-electrons emitted when two monochromatic beams of wavelength $\lambda_{1}$ and $\lambda_{2}$,respectively,are incident on a metallic surface. If $\lambda_{1} = 3 \lambda_{2}$,then:

  • A
    $K_{1} > \frac{K_{2}}{3}$
  • B
    $K_{1} < \frac{K_{2}}{3}$
  • C
    $K_{1} = \frac{K_{2}}{3}$
  • D
    $K_{2} = \frac{K_{1}}{3}$

$A$ photoemissive substance is illuminated with a radiation of wavelength $\lambda_i$ so that it releases electrons with de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_e$. The longest wavelength of radiation that can emit photoelectron is $\lambda_0$. The expression for the de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_e$ is ($m = \text{mass of electron}$, $h = \text{Planck's constant}$, $c = \text{speed of light}$):
