KVPY2014PhysicsDual Nature of Matter
When ultraviolet radiation of a certain frequency falls on a potassium target, the photoelectrons released can be stopped competely by a retarding potential of 0.6 ~V . If the frequency of the radiation is increased by 10 % , this stopping potential rises to 0.9 ~V . The work functin of potassium is
Options
- A2.0 eV
- B2.4 eV
- C3.0 eV
- D2.8 eV
Correct answer
B. 2.4 eV
Step-by-step solution
E= +e VE= + e (.9)1.1 E = + e (.9).1 E =.3 e E =3 eV put 2.4 eV .1 E =.3 e E =3 eV put 2.4 eV
