$A$ photosensitive surface made of cesium on tungsten is irradiated by monochromatic radiation of wavelength $640.2 \ nm$ $(1 \ nm = 10^{-9} \ m)$ from a neon bulb. The measured stopping potential is $0.54 \ V$. If the source is replaced by another source and the same photocell is irradiated by a line of $427.2 \ nm$,what will be the new stopping potential in $V$?

  • A
    $2.10$
  • B
    $0.90$
  • C
    $1.80$
  • D
    $1.51$

In the photoelectric effect,when photons of energy $h \nu$ fall on a photosensitive surface (work function $h \nu_0$),electrons are emitted from the metallic surface. It is possible to say that:

Photoelectric emission takes place from a certain metal at threshold frequency $v$. If the radiation of frequency $4v$ is incident on the metal plate,the maximum velocity of the emitted photoelectrons will be ($m=$ mass of photoelectron,$h=$ Planck's constant).

$A$ photoemissive substance is illuminated with a radiation of wavelength $\lambda_i$ so that it releases electrons with de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_e$. The longest wavelength of radiation that can emit photoelectron is $\lambda_0$. The expression for the de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_e$ is ($m = \text{mass of electron}$, $h = \text{Planck's constant}$, $c = \text{speed of light}$):

The stopping potential as a function of frequency of incident radiation is plotted for two different photoelectric surfaces $A$ and $B$. The graph shows that the work function of $A$ is

When $UV$ light of wavelength $300 \, nm$ is incident on a metal surface having a work function of $2.13 \, eV$, electron emission takes place. The stopping potential is: (Given $hc = 1240 \, eV \cdot nm$) (in $ \, V$)
