The potential difference that must be applied to stop the fastest photoelectrons emitted by a nickel surface, having work function 5.01eV5.01 \mathrm{eV}, when ultraviolet light of 200 nm200 \mathrm{~nm} falls on it, must be

Options

  1. A2.4 V2.4 \mathrm{~V}
  2. B−1.2 V-1.2 \mathrm{~V}
  3. C−2.4 V-2.4 \mathrm{~V}
  4. D1.2 V1.2 \mathrm{~V}

Correct answer

D. 1.2 V1.2 \mathrm{~V}

Step-by-step solution

Energy of incident light E(eV)=123752000\mathrm{E}(\mathrm{eV})=\frac{12375}{2000} =6.2eV(200 nm=2000A˚)=6.2 \mathrm{eV}(200 \mathrm{~nm}=2000 Å) According to the relation E=W0+eV0\mathrm{E}=\mathrm{W}_0+\mathrm{eV}_0 \begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{V}_0 & =\frac{\mathrm{E}-\mathrm{W}_0}{\mathrm{e}} \\ & =\frac{(6.2-5.01) \mathrm{e}}{\mathrm{e}} \\ & =1.2 \mathrm{~V} \end{aligned}
