Practice question
Question
Light of wavelength 350 nm is incident on a metal with work function 2.0 eV . What is the stopping potential? (Take h c = 1240 eV nm )
Explanation
Given:
Light of wavelength 350 nm is incident on a metal with work function 2.0 eV . What is the stopping potential? (Take h c = 1240 eV nm )
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
E = h c/lambda = 1240/350 approx 3.54 eV.
This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon.
Substitution & Calculation:
K_{max = E - phi_0 = 3.54 - 2.0 = 1.54 eV . V_0 = fracK_{maxe = 1.54 V .
Result:
The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kgâ»Â¹ Kâ»Â¹, m/s², 10â»âµ are properly used as per NCERT.
