When photons of energy $h \nu$ fall on a photosensitive surface of work function $E_0$,photoelectrons of maximum kinetic energy $k$ are emitted. If the frequency of radiation is doubled,the maximum kinetic energy will be equal to ($h=$ Planck's constant).

  • A
    $k$
  • B
    $2k$
  • C
    $k+E_0$
  • D

Why maximum kinetic energy of a photoelectron cannot be negative?

$A$ photon of wavelength $3315 \ \text{Å}$ falls on a photocathode and an electron of energy $3 \times 10^{-19} \ \text{J}$ is ejected. The threshold wavelength of the photon is [Planck's constant $(h)$ $= 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \ \text{J-s}$, velocity of light $(c)$ $= 3 \times 10^{8} \ \text{m/s}$]. (in $\text{Å}$)

The work function of a substance is $4.0 \,eV$. The longest wavelength of light that can cause photoelectron emission from this substance is approximately ......... $nm$.

The electron in the hydrogen atom jumps from excited state $(n = 3)$ to its ground state $(n = 1)$ and the photons thus emitted irradiate a photosensitive material. If the work function of the material is $5.1 \, eV$,the stopping potential is estimated to be (the energy of the electron in $n^{th}$ state $E_n = \frac{-13.6}{n^2} \, eV$) (in $, V$)
