Photons of 5.5 eV energy fall on the surface of the metal emitting photoelectrons of maximum kinetic energy 4.0 eV . The stopping voltage required for these electrons is
Options
- A5.5 V
- B1.5 V
- C9.5 V
- D4.0 V
Correct answer
D. 4.0 V
Step-by-step solution
Max. kinetic energy of photoelectrons =4 eV If stopping potential is V₀ , then aligned & & e V₀ & =4 eV & & V₀ & =4 volt aligned
