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

  • question_answer
    If the work function for a certain metal is \[3.2\times {{10}^{-19}}\]joule and it is illuminated with light of frequency \[8\times {{10}^{14}}\]Hz. The maximum kinetic energy of the photo-electrons would be [MP PET 1993]

    A)            \[2.1\times {{10}^{-19}}J\]     

    B)            \[8.5\times {{10}^{-19}}J\]

    C)            \[5.3\times {{10}^{-19}}J\]     

    D)            \[3.2\times {{10}^{-19}}J\] \[(h=6.63\times {{10}^{-34}}Js)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       \[{{K}_{\max }}=h\nu -{{W}_{0}}\]\[=6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 8\times {{10}^{14}}-3.2\times {{10}^{-19}}\]            \[=2.1\times {{10}^{-19}}J\]
