JEE MainPhysicsDual Nature of RadiationMCQ+4 / −1
In photoelectric effect an em-wave is incident on a metal surface and electrons are ejected from the surface. If the work function of the metal is 2.14 eV and stopping potential is 2 V , what is the wavelength of the em-wave? (Given hc=1242eVnm\mathrm{hc}=1242 \mathrm{eVnm}hc=1242eVnm where h is the Planck's constant and c is the speed of light in vaccum.)

Correct answer: C

  1. Use Einstein’s photoelectric equation

    hν=ϕ+Kmax⁡h\nu = \phi + K_{\max}hν=ϕ+Kmax​

    where:

    • ϕ=2.14 eV\phi = 2.14\,\text{eV}ϕ=2.14eV is the work function
    • Kmax⁡=eV0=2 eVK_{\max} = eV_0 = 2\,\text{eV}Kmax​=eV0​=2eV since stopping potential V0=2 VV_0 = 2\,\text{V}V0​=2V
  2. Find the photon energy

    E=hν=2.14+2=4.14 eVE = h\nu = 2.14 + 2 = 4.14\,\text{eV}E=hν=2.14+2=4.14eV

  3. Use the relation between energy and wavelength

    E=hcλE = \frac{hc}{\lambda}E=λhc​

    So,

    λ=hcE=1242 eV nm4.14 eV\lambda = \frac{hc}{E} = \frac{1242\,\text{eV nm}}{4.14\,\text{eV}}λ=Ehc​=4.14eV1242eV nm​

  4. Calculate

    λ=300 nm\lambda = 300\,\text{nm}λ=300nm

  5. Match with the options

    • A: 400 nm400\,\text{nm}400nm
    • B: 600 nm600\,\text{nm}600nm
    • C: 300 nm300\,\text{nm}300nm
    • D: 200 nm200\,\text{nm}200nm

    Hence, the correct option is C.
