उत्तर
Given :-
wavelength of light , `λ = 400 "nm" = 400 xx 10^-9 "m"`
Work function of metal, `phi = 2.5 "eV"`
From Einstein's photoelectric equation,
Kinetic energy = `(hc)/λ - phi`
Here, c = speed of light
h = Planck's constant
`therefore K.E. = (6.63 xx 10^-34 xx 3 xx 10^8)/(4 xx 10^-7 xx 1.6 xx 10^-19) - 2.5 "eV"`
`= 0.605 "eV"`
Also , `K.E. = p^2/(2m)`
where p is momentum and m is the mass of an electron.
`therefore p^2 = 2"m" xx K.E.`
`⇒ p^2 = 2 xx 9.1 xx 10^-31 xx 0.605 xx 1.6 xx 10^-19`
`⇒ p = 4.197 xx 10^-25 "kg - m/s"`
