Photoelectric Effect: Einstein's Equation

The maximum velocity of the photoelectron emitted by the metal surface is ' vv '. Charge and mass of the photoelectron is denoted by ' ee ' and ' mm ' respectively. The stopping potential in volt is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. eV0=12mv2eV_0 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2
  2. V0=mv22e=v22(e/m)V_0 = \frac{mv^2}{2e} = \frac{v^2}{2(e/m)}
  3. So the answer is (b) v22(em)\frac{v^2}{2\left(\frac{e}{m}\right)}.
