a.

7.72eV

b.

8.52eV

c.

12.5eV

d.

Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

B1=B0sin( 107C)t + B0 sin(2 10−7C)t since there are two EM waves with different frequency, to get maximum kinetic energy we take the photon with higher frequency

B1=B0sin( 107C)t  V1=

B2=B0sin(2 107C)t  V2= 10C

Where C is speed of light C=3 10m/s

V2 V1

So KE of photoelectron will be maximum for photon of higher energy.

V2 =107CHz

hv= +KEmax

energy of photon

Eph=hv=6.6 10−34 10−7 3 109

Eph=6.6 3 10−19J

       =

KEmax =Eph

=12.375−4.7

=7.675eV  7.7 eV
