When a 6000Å light falls on the cathode of a photo cell and produced photoemission. If a stopping potential of 0.8 V is required to stop emission of electron, then determine the net energy of the electron after it leaves the surface |

Answer» Solution :Given data `:` WAVELENGTH of incident light `lambda =6000Å = 6 xx 10^(-7) m ` Stopping POTENTIAL `V_(0) =0.8 V` To find `:` (i) FREQUENCY of light v = ? (ii) Energy of incident photon E =? (iii) Work function of the cathode material W= ? (iv) Threshold frequency `v_(0) = ?` (v)Net energy of the electron after it LEAVES the surface E = ? Net energy of the photo electrons `E =hv - hv_(0) = ( 2.07 -1.26) eV` `E = 0.81 eV` |
