Question

In photoelectric emission process from a metal of work function 1.8 eV, the kinetic energy of most energetic electrons is 0.5 eV. The corresponding stopping potential is :
  1. 1.8 V
  2. 1.3 V
  3. 0.5 V
  4. 2.3 V

A
1.3 V
B
2.3 V
C
1.8 V
D
0.5 V
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Let V0 be the stopping potential

In a photoelectric effect, the maximum kinetic energy of electron ,

Kmax=eV0

so, V0=Kmaxe=0.5eVe=0.5V (as eV=1 electronic charge times 1 Volt)
