Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is given by:
K_\max = E - \Phi
where is the energy of the incident photon and is the work function of the metal.
Substituting the given values:
K_\max = 8 \text{ eV} - 3.75 \text{ eV} = 4.25 \text{ eV}
The stopping potential is related to the maximum kinetic energy by K_\max = e V_0.
Therefore,
Answer:
K_\max = E - \Phi
where is the energy of the incident photon and is the work function of the metal.
Substituting the given values:
K_\max = 8 \text{ eV} - 3.75 \text{ eV} = 4.25 \text{ eV}
The stopping potential is related to the maximum kinetic energy by K_\max = e V_0.
Therefore,
