Light source having wavelength 331 nm is used to generate photo-electrons whose stopping potential is 0.2 V. The work function of the used metal in the experiment is 10-19 J. The value of is . (h=6.62 10-34 J s, e=1.6 10-19 C and c=3 108 m/s)
- 3.68
- 4.68
- 5.68
- 2.68
Answer
(3) 5.68
Solution
The energy of a photon is
E = hc = 6.62 10-34 3 108331 10-9 J
E = 6.0 10-19 J
The maximum kinetic energy is Kmax = eV0 = 1.6 10-19 0.2 = 0.32 10-19 J, so
0 = E - Kmax = (6.0 - 0.32) 10-19 J
0 = 5.68 10-19 J
∴ = 5.68
