Q.11. Light of wavelength 300 nm is incident on a photosensitive surface. The stopping potential for emitted photoelectrons is 2.5 v. The wavelength of incident light is reduced to 150 nm. The stopping potential of emitted photoelectron is

Dear student
Using the formula e×Vs=hcλ-W (W:work function)e×2.5=hc300(nm)-We×2.5=1241.5 eV×nm300(nm)-We×2.5=1241.5 eV300-We×2.5=1241.5 ×(1.6×10-19)joule300-We×2.5=1241.5 ×e (joule)300-W...1e×Vs=1241.5 ×e (joule)150-W...2subtracting eqn 1 from 2e×Vs-e×2.5=1241.5 ×e (joule)150-1241.5 ×e (joule)300(Vs-2.5)=1241.5 150-1241.5300(Vs-2.5)=1241.5 150-1241.5300=1241.5 300=4.138 vVs=2.5+4.138=6.63 voltRegards
