    49
    A light of wavelength λ\lambda is incident on a photosensitive surface of negligible work function. The photoelectrons emitted from the surface have de-Broglie wavelength λ1\lambda_{1}. Then ratio λ:λ1 2\lambda:\lambda_{1}\ ^{2} is ( h=h = Planck's constant, c=c = velocity of light, m=m = mass of electron)
