The ejection of the photoelectron from the silver metal in the photoelectric effect experiment can be stopped by applying the voltage of 0.35 V when the radiation 256.7 nm is used. Calculate the work function for silver metal.
We know Energy of the incident radiation = Work function + KE of photoelectron Work function = Energy of the incident ..(2)Substituting the values in eq. (2), we have Energy of incident radiation The potential applied gives the kinetic energy to the electron. Hence, the kinetic energy of the electron = 4.4 eV.Substituting the values in eq. (1), we have Work function = 4.83 eV - 0.35 eV = 4.48 eV Open in App Suggest Corrections 3 |
