The potential difference that must be applied to stop the fastest photoelectrons emitted by a nickel surface, having work function 5.01 eV, when ultraviolet light of 200 nm falls on it, must be

Answer»

`-2.4V`
`1.2V`
`2.4V`
`-1.2V`

Solution :For light of wavelength `lamda=200nm`, energy of photon `E=(HC)/(elamda) eV=(6.63xx10^(-34)xx3xx10^(8))/(1.6xx10^(-19)xx200xx10^(-9))=6.21eV`
`THEREFORE K_(max)=E-phi_(0)=6.21eV-5.01eV=1.2eV`
`therefore` Stopping potential=-1.2eV.
