Dual Nature Of Light Question 275

Question: Light of wavelength 5000 Å falls on a sensitive plate with photoelectric work function of 1.9 eV. The kinetic energy of the photoelectron emitted will be [CBSE PMT 1998]

Options:

A) 0.58 eV

B) 2.48 eV

C) 1.24 eV

D) 1.16 eV

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ E=W_{0}+{K_{\max }};E=\frac{12375}{5000}=2.475,eV $
$ \therefore ,{K_{\max }}=E-W_{0}=2.475-1.9=0.57,eV $
