Light source having wavelength 331 nm is used to generate photo-electrons whose stopping potential is 0.2 V. The work function of the used metal in the experiment is 10-19 J. The value of is . (h=6.62 10-34 J s, e=1.6 10-19 C and c=3 108 m/s)
- 3.68
- 4.68
- 5.68
- 2.68
Answer
(3) 5.68
Solution
Energy of a photon: E= hc = 6.62 10-34 3 108331 10-9 J
⇒ E=6.0 10-19 J
Maximum kinetic energy: Kmax=eV0=1.6 10-19 0.2=0.32 10-19 J
0=E-Kmax=(6.0-0.32) 10-19 J
⇒ 0=5.68 10-19 J
∴ =5.68
Answer: (3)
