The work function of the nickel is 5 eV . When a light of wavelength 2000 Ã… falls on it, it emits photoelectrons in the circuit. Then the potential difference necessary to stop the fastest electrons emitted is (given .h=6.67 10⁻³⁴ ~J - s )
Options
- A1.0 ~V
- B1.75 ~V
- C1.25 ~V
- D0.75 ~V
Correct answer
C. 1.25 ~V
Step-by-step solution
Stopping potential is given by aligned e V₀ & = h c - e V₀ & = 6.67 10⁻³⁴ 3 10^8 2 10⁻⁷ aligned -5 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ aligned & =10.005 10⁻¹⁹-8 10⁻¹⁹ & =2.005 10⁻¹⁹ aligned or aligned V₀ & = 2.005 10⁻¹⁹ 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ volt & =1.25 ~V aligned
