The photoelectric cut-off voltage in an experiment was found to be 1.5 V . The work function for the material used in the experiment was 4.2 eV . The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons that emitted was
Options
- A1.5 eV
- B2.7 eV
- C4.2 eV
- D5.7 eV
Correct answer
A. 1.5 eV
Step-by-step solution
If stopping potential is V₀ , then maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons is given by E_k=e V Given, V=1.5 volt E_k=1.5 eV
