Questions  

In a photo electric experiment, photon of energy 5 eV are incident on a metal surface. They liberate electrons which are just stopped by an electrode at a potential of -3.5 V with respect to the metal. The work function of the metal in eV is

a
5
b
3.5
c
1.5
d
8.5

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Wo = E – KEmax  = E – eVs  = 5 eV – e(3.5V)= 5 eV – 3.5 eV = 1.5 eV
