Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac {3v}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({\text{e}}{{\text{V}}_{\text{s}}} = {\text{hv}} - \phi \)

\(\left\{ {\frac{{ - e{V_0}}}{2} = hv - \phi } \right\} \times 2\)   ..... \((1)\)

\( - e{V_0} = \frac{{hv}}{2} - \phi \)   ..... \((2)\)

\(0 = 2hv - 2\phi  - \frac{{hv}}{2} + \phi \)

\(\phi  = \frac{{3hv}}{2}\)    \( \Rightarrow {v_{th}} = \frac{{3v}}{2}\)
