Atoms And Nuclei Question 309

Question: Ultraviolet light of wavelengths λ1 and λ2 when allowed to fall on hydrogen atoms in their ground state is found to liberate electrons with kinetic energy K.E1 and K.E2 respectively. Find the value of Planck’s constant.

Options:

A) h=|(K.E2K.E1)(λ1+λ2)C(λ1λ2)|

B) h=|(K.E1K.E2)(λ2λ1)Cλ1λ2|

C) h=|(K.E1K.E2)λ1λ2C(λ2λ1)|

D) None of These

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • hcλ1hcλ0=K.E.1 and hcλ2hcλ0=K.E.2
    hcλ1hcλ2=K.E.1K.E.2

    hc[λ2λ1λ1λ2]=K.E.1K.E.2

    h=(K.E.1K.E.2)λ1λ2c(λ2λ1)
