Dual Nature Of Light Question 437

Question: A photon of energy 8 eV is incident on metal surface of threshold frequency $ 1.6\times 10^{15}Hz. $ The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted (in eV) (Take $ h=6\times {{10}^{-34}}Js) $ .

Options:

A) 1.6

B) 6

C) 2

D) 1.2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] $ K.E.=h\nu -h{\nu_{0}} $ $ =8\ eV-( \frac{6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 1.6\times 10^{15}}{1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}eV ) $ = $ 8\ eV-6\ eV=2\ eV $
