Question

A metal of work function of 2.5eV is lit by a radiation of unknown frequency. Determine the maximum wavelength of incident radiation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Energy of incident radiation is E=

λ

hc

=

3×10

−7

6.6×10

−34

×3×10

8

=6.6×10

−19

J.

Also, work function is ϕ=2×1.6×10

−19

J=3.2×10

−19

J.

Hence, maximum kinetic energy of emitted photo electrons will be 6.6×10

−19

J−3.2×10

−19

J=3.4×10

−19

J.
