In a photoelectric emission experiment, the stopping potential for a given metal is V volt, when radiation of wavelength is used. If radiation of wavelength 2 is used with the same metal, then the stopping potential (in volt) will be [ c = velocity of light, e= charge on electron, h= Planck's constant ]
Options
- AV- h c 2 e
- BV+ h c 2 e
- CV 2
- D2 V
Correct answer
A. V- h c 2 e
Step-by-step solution
According to Einstein's equation of photo-electric effect: e V= h c - ---(1) where, stopping potential is V, the incident wavelength and the work-function of the metal. Now, if the incident wavelength is switched to 2 , the stopping potential can be written as e V^ = h c 2 - ---(2) On subtracting equation (1) and (2), and subsequently rearranging: V^ =V- h c 2 e
