Photoelectric Effect: Einstein's Equation

For a photosensitive material, work function is ' W0W_0 ' and stopping potential is ' V '. The wavelength of incident radiation is ( h=h = Planck's constant, c=c = velocity of light, e=e = electronic charge)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Einstein's equation: hcλ=W0+eV\frac{hc}{\lambda} = W_0 + eV
  2. λ=hcW0+eV\lambda = \frac{hc}{W_0 + eV}
  3. So the answer is (d) hcW0+eV\frac{hc}{W_0 + eV}.
