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

  • question_answer
    If in a photoelectric experiment, the wavelength of incident radiation is reduced from 6000 Å to 4000 Å then                 [MP PMT 1999]

    A)            Stopping potential will decrease

    B)            Stopping potential will increase

    C)            Kinetic energy of emitted electrons will decrease

    D)            The value of work function will decrease

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Stopping potential \[{{V}_{0}}=\frac{hc}{e}\left[ \frac{1}{\lambda }-\frac{1}{{{\lambda }_{0}}} \right]\]. As \[\lambda \] decreases so \[{{V}_{0}}\] increases.
