Ejection of the photoelectron from metal in the photoelectric effect experiment can be stopped by applying 0.5 ~V when the radiation of 250 ~nm is used. The work function of the metal is :
Options
- A4 ~eV
- B5.5 ~eV
- C4.5 ~eV
- D5 ~eV
Correct answer
C. 4.5 ~eV
Step-by-step solution
=250 ~nm =2500 Å E = hc = 12400 2500 =4.96 ~eV KE = stopping potential =0.5 ~eV E = W ₀+ K . E . 4.96= W ₀+0.5 ~W ₀=4.46 4.5 ~eV
