Determine the maximum speed of the electrons ejected when a light of wavelength 386 nm is incident on a metal surface whose work function is 1.96eV
Answers
Answer:
The maximum speed of the electrons ejected when a light of wavelength 386 nm is incident on a metal surface having work function is 1.96eV is,
Explanation:
The Einstein's photoelectric equation is given by,
where,
- Energy of emitted photon
h - Plank's constant ( )
- Frequency of incident light
- Wavelength of incident light
W - Work function ( Minimum energy needed to remove an electron)
- Maximum kinetic energy of emitted electron
We know,
,
m - mass of electron
i.e.
Given,
=
=
=
