    The electric field associated with a monochromatic beam becomes zero 2.4 x 1015 times per second. Find the maximum KE of the photoelectrons when this light falls on a metal surface whose work function is 2 eV.

    A)  7.95 eV                      

    B)  17.9 eV

    C)  2.96 eV                      

    D)  4.96 Ev

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The frequency of light wave would be same as that of electric field. The electric field becomes zero 2.4 x 1015 times per second, in one cycle it get zero twice, so frequency becomes\[\frac{2.4\times {{10}^{15}}}{2}=1.2\times {{10}^{15}}\]Hz. So,\[{{K}_{\max }}=hv-\phi \] \[=[4.96-2]eV=2.96eV\]
