The electron in the hydrogen atom jumps from excited state (n = 3) to its ground state (n = 1) and the photons thus emitted irradiate a photosensitive material. If the work function of the material is 5.1 eV, the stopping potential is estimated to be (the energy of the electron in nth state En = )
- A5.1 V
- B12.1 V
- C17.2 V
- D7 V
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
E = h = E3 - E1
=
= 12.1 eV
Therefore, stopping potential
eV0 = -
= (12.1 – 5.1) eV
V0 = 7 V
