    Ultraviolet radiation of 6.2 eV falls on an aluminium foil surface. Work function s 4.2 eV. The kinetic energy of the fastes electron emitted approximately

    A) \[\text{3}.\text{2}\times \text{I}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-21}}}\text{ J}\]                        

    B)  \[\text{3}.\text{2}\times \text{1}{{0}^{-19}}\text{ J}\]

    C) \[\text{3}.\text{2}\times \text{1}{{0}^{-\text{15}}}\text{ J}\]                     

    D)  \[\text{3}.\text{2}\times \text{l}{{\text{O}}^{-17}}\text{ J}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     From Einsteins relation, the kinetic energy (KE) of emitted electron is given by \[KE=hv-{{W}_{0}}\] where, \[{{W}_{0}}\] is work function of metal, v the frequency, h the Plancks constant. Given,   \[hv=6.2\,eV\], \[{{W}_{0}}=4.2\,eV\] \[\therefore \]  \[KE=6.2-4.2=2\,eV\] Also,      \[1\,eV=1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\,J\] \[\therefore \]  \[KE=2\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}J\]                 \[=3.2\times {{10}^{-19}}J\]
