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

  • question_answer
    Ultraviolet radiations of \[6.2\,eV\] falls on an aluminium surface (work function \[4.2\ eV\]). The kinetic energy in joules of the fastest electron emitted is approximately [MNR 1987; MP PET 1990; CBSE PMT 1993; Pb. PMT 2001; BVP 2003; Pb. PET 2004]

    A)            \[3.2\times {{10}^{-21}}\]      

    B)            \[3.2\times {{10}^{-19}}\]

    C)            \[3.2\times {{10}^{-17}}\]      

    D)            \[3.2\times {{10}^{-15}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       \[{{K}_{\max }}(eV)=E\,(eV)-{{W}_{0}}\,(eV)\]\[=6.2-4.2=2\ eV\]            \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,{{K}_{\max }}(Joules)=\]\[2\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}J=3.2\times {{10}^{-19}}J\]
