In photoelectric effect an em-wave is incident on a metal surface and electrons are ejected from the surface. If the work function of the metal is 2.14 eV and stopping potential is 2 V , what is the wavelength of the em-wave ?
(Given hc \(=1242 \mathrm{eVnm}\) where h is the Planck's constant and c is the speed of light in vaccum.)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 300 nm
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned}
& \phi=2.14 \\
& V_S=2 \mathrm{~V}
\end{aligned}\)
Using photoelectric equation.
\(\begin{aligned}
& \frac{h c}{\lambda}=2.14+2=4.14 \mathrm{eV} \\
& \lambda=\frac{1242}{4.14}=300 \mathrm{~nm}
\end{aligned}\)
& \phi=2.14 \\
& V_S=2 \mathrm{~V}
\end{aligned}\)
Using photoelectric equation.
\(\begin{aligned}
& \frac{h c}{\lambda}=2.14+2=4.14 \mathrm{eV} \\
& \lambda=\frac{1242}{4.14}=300 \mathrm{~nm}
\end{aligned}\)
