Q.

In photoelectric experiment energy of 2.48 eV irradiates a photo sensitive material. The stopping potential was measured to be 0.5 V. Work function of the photo sensitive material is :                  [2024]

1 2.48 eV  
2 0.5 eV  
3 1.98 eV  
4 1.68 eV  

Ans.

(3)         

               eVs=hν-ϕ

                0.5eV=2.48eV-ϕ

                Work function, ϕ=(2.48-0.5)eV=1.98eV
