Q.

When a surface is irradiated with light of wavelength 4950 A0, a photocurrent appears which vanishes if a retarding potential greater than 0.6 volt is applied across the phototube. When a second source of light is used, it is found that the critical retarding potential is changed to 1.1 volt. The wavelength of the second source is

Detailed Solution

in the first case enrgy of the photon is 1240049502.5 eV and maximum kinetic energy of the electron is 0.6 eV so form Einstein equation hν=W +eVs

2.5=W+0.6  W=1.9 eV

for the second case      hν=W +eVs ;   hν=1.9+1.1 =3eV

corresponding wavelength 124003=4133
