Options
- A1.6
- B2.5
- C4.1
- D6.6
Correct answer
A. 1.6
Step-by-step solution
Frequency of incident light, v=10¹⁵ ~Hz Work function, ₀=25 eV Energy of incident photon, aligned E &=h v &=6.62 10⁻³⁴ 10¹⁵ &=6.62 10⁻¹⁹ ~J &= 6.62 10⁻¹⁹ 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ eV &=4.1 eV aligned According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, array ll & K_ =h v - ₀ & e V₀=h v - ₀ & e V₀=4.1 eV -25 eV & e V₀=1.6 eV & V₀=1.6 ~V array
