Following results are observed when sodium metal is irradiated with different wavelengths.
Calculate (a) threshold wavelength and, (b) Planck’s constant.
λ (nm) | 500 | 450 |
400 |
v × 10–5 (cm s–1) | 2.55 | 4.35 | 5.35 |
(a) Let us suppose threshold wavelength to be λD nm (= λ0 x 10-9 m), the kinetic energy of the radiation is given as:
h(v-v0)=1/2 mv2
Or
hc(1/λ - 1/λD) = 1/2 mv2
Threshold wavelength (λD)= 540 nm
Substituting this value in equation iii,we get
= h x (3x108)/10-9 [1/400-1/540]
= [(9.11x10-31)(5.20x106)2] / 2
=6.66x10-34Js

Thank you
Hey you have copied wrong values in second case it's 4.35 not 3.45
Somehow answer is git by you Nothing explained clearly 1st you should take threshold wevelength from let then put photoelectric formulae then put values avg. Of given data
