When a photon of wavelength ${\lambda _1}$ is incident on a metal surface,the speed of the ejected fastest electron is $v_1 \ m/s$. If a photon of wavelength ${\lambda _2}$ is incident on the same metal,the speed of the ejected fastest electron is $v_2 \ m/s$. The value of $v_2^2 - v_1^2$ will be

  • A
    $\frac{{2hc}}{{{m_e}}}\left[ {{\lambda _2} - {\lambda _1}} \right]$
  • B
    $\frac{{2hc}}{{{m_e}}}{\left[ {{\lambda _2} - {\lambda _1}} \right]^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{{2hc}}{{{m_e}}}\left[ {\frac{1}{{{\lambda _2}}} - \frac{1}{{{\lambda _1}}}} \right]$
  • D
    $\frac{{2hc}}{{{m_e}}}{\left[ {\frac{1}{{{\lambda _2}}} - \frac{1}{{{\lambda _1}}}} \right]^2}$

Why can wave theory not explain the change in the kinetic energy of an electron with a change in the frequency of incident light?

$A$ beam of electromagnetic radiation of intensity $6.4 \times 10^{-5} \; W/cm^{2}$ is comprised of wavelength $\lambda = 310 \; nm$. It falls normally on a metal surface (work function $\varphi = 2 \; eV$) of surface area $1 \; cm^{2}$. If one in $10^{3}$ photons ejects an electron, the total number of electrons ejected in $1 \; s$ is $10^{x}$. Then $x$ is: $(hc = 1240 \; eV \cdot nm, 1 \; eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \; J)$
