Photoelectric Effect: Einstein's Equation

In photoelectric experiment energy of 2.48 eV2.48\text{ eV} irradiates a photo sensitive material. The stopping potential was measured to be 0.5 V0.5\text{ V}. Work function of the photo sensitive material is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. ϕ=E−eV0\phi = E - eV_0
  2. ϕ=2.48−0.5=1.98 eV\phi = 2.48 - 0.5 = 1.98\text{ eV}
  3. So the answer is (a) 1.98 eV.
