Dual Nature Of Light Question 304

Question: Light of frequency $ 8\times 10^{15}Hz $ is incident on a substance of photoelectric work function $ 6.125,eV. $ The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is [AFMC 2001]

Options:

A) 17 $ eV $

B) 22 $ eV $

C) 27 $ eV $

D) 37 $ eV $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ E=h\nu =6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 8\times 10^{15}=5.28\times {{10}^{-18}}J=33eV $ By using $ E=W_{0}+{K_{\max }}\Rightarrow {K_{\max }}=E-W_{0} $ $ =33-6.125=27eV $
