A metal surface of work function 1.07 eV is irradiated with light of wavelength 332 nm. The retarding potential required to stop the escape of photo-electrons is

a
4.81 eV
b
3.74 eV
c
2.66 eV
d
1.07 eV

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Energy of incident light E(eV) =123753320=3.72  Volt332nm=3320AoAccording  to  the  relation  E=Wo+eVo⇒Vo=E−Woe=3.72eV−1.07eVe=2.65  Volt.
