The maximum velocity of the photoelectron emitted by the metal surface is 'v'. Charge and mass of the photoelectron is denoted by 'e' and 'm' respectively. The stopping potential in volt is

  1. A \(\frac{v^{2}}{\left(\frac{m}{e}\right)}\)
  2. B \(\frac{v^{2}}{\left(\frac{e}{m}\right)}\)
  3. C \(\frac{v^{2}}{2\left(\frac{m}{e}\right)}\)
  4. D \(\frac{v^{2}}{2\left(\frac{e}{m}\right)}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{v^{2}}{2\left(\frac{e}{m}\right)}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}=e v\)
\(v=\frac{m v^{2}}{2 e}=\frac{v^{2}}{2\left(\frac{e}{m}\right)}\)
