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

  • question_answer
    Light of wavelength 5000 Å falls on a sensitive plate with photoelectric work function of 1.9 eV. The kinetic energy of the photoelectron emitted will be                  [CBSE PMT 1998]

    A)            0.58 eV                                   

    B)            2.48 eV

    C)            1.24 eV                                   

    D)            1.16 eV

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[E={{W}_{0}}+{{K}_{\max }};\,\,E=\frac{12375}{5000}=2.475\,eV\]  \[\therefore \,\,\,{{K}_{\max }}=E-{{W}_{0}}=2.475-1.9=0.57\,eV\]
