A horizontal photoelectric plate whose work function is 1.9 eV is moved vertically downward at a constant speed v in a room full of radiation of wavelength 250 nm and above. What should be the minimum value of v so that the vertically upward component of velocity of ejected photoelectrons is non-positive?

Answer»

Solution :MINIMUM energy of the photon falling on photoelectric plate
`=hv=(hc)/(LAMDA)=((6.625xx10^(-34))(3xx10^(8)))/(250xx10^(-19))`
ACCORDING to Einstein's photoelectric equation,
`(1)/(2)mv^(2)=(hc)/(lamda)-W`
`[v_(min)]=(2)/(m)[(hc)/(lamda)-W]`
`=(2)/(9.1xx10^(-31))[((6.625xx10^(-34))(3xx10^(8)))/(250xx10^(-9))-1.9xx(1.6xx10^(19))]`
`=1.08xx10^(12)`
`v_(min)=1.04xx10^(6)ms^(-1)`
