Ultraviolet light is used for a photo-electric effect experiment on cadmium. For a given photon wavelength, the energy of the most-energetic emitted electrons is measured to be 8 eV. The experimenter doubles the wavelength of the ultraviolet light and measures a different electron energy:
|
2 eV |
||
|
4 eV |
||
|
8 eV |
||
|
16 eV |
||
|
32 eV |
In this question we have to determine the maximum kinetic energy
of ejected electrons when wavelength of incident light is
doubled.
