A metal surface of work function 1.13 eV is irradiated with light of wavelength 310 ~nm . The retarding potential required to stop the escape of photoelectrons is [Take hc =1240 10⁻⁹ SI units]
Options
- A1 13 ~V
- B2.87 ~V
- C3.97 ~V
- D4.23 ~V
Correct answer
B. 2.87 ~V
Step-by-step solution
Energy of incident light: aligned E & = h c e & = 1240 10⁻⁹ 310 10⁻⁹ & =4 ev aligned Stopping potential V ₀= hc e - ₀ e V ₀=4-1.13=2.87 ~V
