When a photosensitive material is illuminated by photons of energy 3.1 eV, the stopping potential of the photoelectrons is 1.7 V. When the same photosensitive material is illuminated by photons of energy 2.5 eV, the stopping potential of the photoelectrons is

  1. A 1.8 V
  2. B 1.4 V
  3. C 1.1 V
  4. D 1.3 V
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1.1 V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \phi = E_1 - eV_{s1} \) \( \phi = 3.1 \, \text{eV} - 1.7 \, \text{eV} = 1.4 \, \text{eV} \) \( eV_{s2} = E_2 - \phi \) \( eV_{s2} = 2.5 \, \text{eV} - 1.4 \, \text{eV} = 1.1 \, \text{eV} \) \( V_{s2} = 1.1 \, \text{V} \)
