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

  • question_answer
    The maximum wavelength of radiation that can produce photoelectric effect in a certain metal is 200 nm. The maximum kinetic energy acquired by electron due to radiation of wavelength 100 nm will be           [MP PMT 1994]

    A)            12.4 eV                                   

    B)            6.2 eV

    C)            100 eV                                     

    D)            200 eV

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       \[{{K}_{\max }}\,(eV)=12375\,\left[ \frac{1}{\lambda \,({\AA})}-\frac{1}{{{\lambda }_{0}}({\AA})} \right]\]            \[=12375\,\left[ \frac{1}{1000}-\frac{1}{2000} \right]\] \[=6.2\,eV\]
