Light of wavelength 300 nm is used in an experiment on photoelectric effect with lithium having a work function of 2.7 eV. The maximum kinetic energy of ejected photo-electrons will be

  1. A 1.60 eV
  2. B 1.90 eV
  3. C 1.75 eV
  4. D 1.43 eV
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 1.43 eV

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\) \(E = \frac{1240 \text{ eV} \cdot \text{nm}}{300 \text{ nm}} = 4.133 \text{ eV}\) \(K_{max} = E - \phi\) \(K_{max} = 4.133 \text{ eV} - 2.7 \text{ eV} = 1.433 \text{ eV}\)
