In photoelectric experiment energy of 2.48 eV irradiates a photo sensitive material. The stopping potential was measured to be 0.5 V. Work function of the photo sensitive material is :
- 1.98 eV
- 1.68 eV
- 2.48 eV
- 0.5 eV
Answer
(1) 1.98 eV
Solution
Einstein's equation: eV0 = h - 0
0 = h - eV0 = 2.48 eV - 0.5 eV
= 1.98 eV
Answer: (1)
