The work function of a metal is $\displaystyle 2.31$ eV. Photoelectric emission occurs when light of frequency $\displaystyle 6.4 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~Hz}$ is incident on the metal surface. Calculate :(i)the energy of the incident radiation, (ii) the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electron and (iii) the stopping potential of the surface.
The work function of a metal is $\displaystyle 2.31$ eV. Photoelectric emission occurs when light of frequency $\displaystyle 6.4 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~Hz}$ is incident on the metal surface. Calculate :
(i)
the energy of the incident radiation, (ii) the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electron and (iii) the stopping potential of the surface.
Marking-scheme solution
(ii) Maximum kinetic energy - $\displaystyle 1$
(iii) Stopping potential - $\displaystyle 1$
