Photoelectric effect and study of photoelectric effect

Question

If a photocell is illuminated with a radiation of 1240 $Å$ , then stopping potential is found to be 8 V. The work function of the emitter and the threshold wavelength are

Easy

A

$1 eV, 5200 Å$
B

$2 eV, 6200 Å$
C

$3 eV, 7200 Å$
D

$4 eV, 4200 Å$

Solution

$W = h v - e V_{s}$
$\begin{array}{l} h v = energy of incident photon \\ Here h v = \frac{12400}{1240} eV = 10 eV \\ ∴ W = 10 - 8 = 2 eV \end{array}$
$So, λ_{0} = Threshold wavelength$
$λ_{0} = \frac{12400}{2 e V} Å = 6200 Å$
