Q.

Light of wavelength 0.6 pm from a sodium lamp falls on a photocell and causes the emission of photoelectrons for which the stopping potential is 0.5 V. With light of wavelength 0.4 μm from a mercury vapor lamp, the stopping potential is 1.5 V. Then, the work function [in electron volts] of the photocell surface is

Detailed Solution

EW0=12mv2=eVs or hcλW0=eVs Hence, hc0.6×106W0=e(0.5)   ........(i) and hc0.4×106W0=e(1.5)      ........(ii) Solving, we get W0=1.5eV
