Em Waves Question 84

Question: The work function of a metallic surface is 5.01 eV. The photoelectrons are emitted when light of wavelength 2000 $ \overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}, $ falls on it. The potential difference applied to stop! The fastest photoelectrons is $ [ h=4.14\times {{10}^{-15}}eVs ] $

Options:

A) 1.2 V

B) 2.24 V

C) 3.6 V

D) 4.8 V

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] $ eV=hv-{\phi _{0}}=( \frac{12375}{2000}-5.01 )eV $

$ V=(6.1875-5.01)V=1.18V\approx 1.2V $
