The potential difference that must be applied to stop the fastest photoelectrons emitted by a nickel surface, having work functions 5.01 eV, when ultraviolet light of 200 nm falls on it, must be
- A2.4 V
- B1.2 V
- C2.4 V
- D1.2 V
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
According to Einstein’s photoelectric equation
eVs = h -
eVs = -
= - 5.01
= 6.2 eV – 5.01 eV = 1.2 eV
Stopping potential, Vs = 1.2 V
The potential difference that must be applied to stop photoelectrons = – Vs = – 1.2 V
