If a photocell is illuminated with a radiation of 1240 A, the stopping potential is found to be 8 V; then the work function of the emitter and the threshold wavelength are:

  1. A 2 eV, 2000 A
  2. B 2 eV, 6200 A
  3. C 2 eV, 2480 A
  4. D 3 eV,6200 A
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2 eV, 6200 A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The Einstein's equation for photoelectric effect : KEmax=hcλ-W where,W= work function of metal, λ= wavelength of incident light. If V0 be the stopping potential, then KEmax=eV0 So, eV0=hcλ-W…
