Silver has a work function of 4 .7 eV . When ultraviolet light of wavelength 100 nm is incident on it a potential of 7 .7 V is required to stop the photoelectrons from reaching the collector plate. The potential required to stop the photoelectrons, when light of wavelength 200 nm is incident on it, is
Options
- A15.4 V
- B2.35 V
- C3.85 V
- D1.5 V
Correct answer
D. 1.5 V
Step-by-step solution
e v 0 +   ϕ = h c λ and e v 0 ′ +   ϕ = h c λ ′ e v 0 ′ + ϕ e v 0 + ϕ = λ λ ′ = 100 200 = 1 2 2 e v 0 ′ + 2 ϕ = e v 0 +   ϕ e v 0 ′ = e v 0 - ϕ 2 = 7.7 - 4.7 2 = 1.5 V
