Q.

Silver has a work function of 4.7 eV. When ultraviolet light of wavelength 100 nm is incident upon it, a potential of 7.7 V is required to stop the photoelectrons from reaching the collector plate. How much potential will be required to stop the photoelectrons when light of wavelength 200 nm is incident upon silver?

Detailed Solution

λ1=12375E1(eV)Å=1000Å∴ E1=12.375eV Similarly, 12375λ2(Å)eV=123752000=6.1875eV Now, E1−W0=eVs and E2−W0=eVS Hence, 12.375−W0=7.7eV and 6.1875−W0=eVs′ Solving, we get Vs′=1.5V
