A metal has work function 2.5 eV . If a radiation of frequency 32 10¹⁵ ~Hz is incident on this metal surface, then the maximum kinetic energy of ejected photoelectrons is (Planck's constant, h=6.6 10⁻³⁴ ~J - s )
Options
- A9.5 eV
- B2.5 eV
- C10.7 eV
- D12.6 eV
Correct answer
C. 10.7 eV
Step-by-step solution
Frequency of incident radiation, f=3.2 10¹⁵ ~Hz Energy of incident photon E, E=h f aligned & =6.6 10⁻³⁴ 3.2 10¹⁵ & = 6.6 10⁻³⁴ 3.2 10¹⁵ 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ eV & =13.2 eV aligned So, maximum K. E of emitted photoelectrons =E- ₀=13.2-25 ( ₀=2.5 eV . , given )=10.7 eV
