Light described at a place by the equation `E= (100 V(m^-1)) [sin (5 xx (10^15)m(s^-1))t + sin (8 xx (10^15)(s^-1)t]` falls on a metal surface having work function `2.0 eV`. Calculate the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons. |
Answer» The light contains two different frequencies. The one with larger frequency will case photoelectrons with largest kinetic energy. This larger frequency is `v=(omega)/(2pi)=(8xx10^(15)s^(-1))/(2pi)` The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron is `K_(max)=hv-W` `=(4.14xx10^(15)eV-s)xx((8xx10^(15))/(2pi)s^(-1))-2.0 eV` `5.27 eV-2.0eV=3.27 eV`. |
