Options
- A(4.08 eV )
- B(2.84 eV )
- C(1.60 eV )
- D(0.36 eV )
Correct answer
C. (1.60 eV )
Step-by-step solution
Given, work function, ( ₀=1.24 eV ) (=1.24 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ ~J ) Wavelength, ( =4.36 10⁻⁷ ~m ) According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, ( gathered e V₀= h c - ₀ e V₀= 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10^8 4.36 10⁻⁷ -1.24 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ V₀= 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10^8 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 4.36 10⁻⁷ -1.24 =2.85-1.24=1.61 ~V 1.60 ~V gathered )
