Photoelectric Effect: Einstein's Equation

When UV light of wavelength 300 nm300\text{ nm} is incident on the metal surface having work function 2.13 eV2.13\text{ eV}, electron emission takes place. The stopping potential is:

(Given hc =1240 eV nm= 1240\text{ eV nm})

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. E=1240300=4.13 eVE = \frac{1240}{300} = 4.13\text{ eV}
  2. eV0=4.13−2.13=2 eVeV_0 = 4.13 - 2.13 = 2\text{ eV}
  3. So the answer is (b) 2 V.
