JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 11. Dual nature of radiation and matter

In photoelectric experiment energy of \(2.48 \mathrm{eV}\) irradiates a photo sensitive material. The stopping potential was measured to be \(0.5 \mathrm{~V}\). Work function of the photo sensitive material is _______.

  1. A \(0.5 \mathrm{eV}\)
  2. B \(1.68 \mathrm{eV}\)
  3. C \(2.48 \mathrm{eV}\)
  4. D \(1.98 \mathrm{eV}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1.98 \mathrm{eV}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{eV}=\mathrm{hv}-\phi\) \(0.5 \mathrm{~V}=2.48-\phi\) \(\text { work function }(\phi)=2.48 \mathrm{~V}-0.5 \mathrm{~V}=1.98 \mathrm{~V}\)
