JEE Main & Advanced Physics Photo Electric Effect, X- Rays & Matter Waves Question Bank Photon and Photoelectric Effect

  • question_answer
    A photon of energy 8 eV is incident on a metal surface of threshold frequency \[1.6\times {{10}^{15}}\,Hz\], then the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted is \[(h=6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\,Js)\]                                               [Pb. PET 2002]

    A)            4.8 eV                                      

    B)            2.4 eV

    C)            1.4 eV                                      

    D)            0.8 eV

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       Work function \[{{W}_{0}}=h{{\nu }_{0}}=6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 1.6\times {{10}^{15}}\]                                                                 \[=1.056\times {{10}^{-18}}J\]\[=6.6\,eV\]            From \[E={{W}_{0}}+{{K}_{\max }}\,\Rightarrow \,\,{{K}_{\max }}=E-{{W}_{0}}\]\[=1.4\,eV\]
