When UV light of wavelength 300 nm is incident on the metal surface having work function 2.13 eV, electron emission takes place. The stopping potential is : (Given hc = 1240 eV nm)
- 4 V
- 2 V
- 4.1 V
- 1.5 V
Answer
(2) 2 V
Solution
Photon energy: E = hc = 1240300 = 4.13 eV
Einstein's equation: eV0 = E - 0
= 4.13 - 2.13 = 2 eV
V0 = 2 V
Answer: (2)
