NEET2018PhysicsDual Nature of MatterActual
If the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photo electrons from a metal surface of work function 2.5 eV , is 1.7 eV . If wavelength of incident radiation is halved, then stopping potential will be
Options
- A2.5 ~V
- B6.7 ~V
- C5 ~V
- D1.1 ~V
Correct answer
B. 6.7 ~V
Step-by-step solution
Energy of incident photons, aligned & h v= ₀+K_ =2.5+1.7=4.2 eV & v =c and v^ 2 =c v^ =2 v aligned According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, aligned e V₀ & =h v^ - ₀=h(2 v )- ₀=2 4.2-1.7 & =6.7 eV V₀=6.7 ~V aligned
