    Light of wavelength \[4000\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] is incident on metal plate whose work function is 2 eV. What is maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectron?

    A)  0.5 eV     

    B)                        1.1 eV                 

    C)        2.0 eV                                 

    D)  1.5 eV

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    If the maximum kinetic energy of photo electrons emitted from metal surface is \[[ML{{T}^{-2}}]\] and W is the work-function of metal then \[=[M{{L}^{-1}}{{T}^{-2}}]\] where hv is the energy of photon absorbed by the electron in metal. \[[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-1}}]\]    \[\alpha =\frac{\Delta {{i}_{C}}}{\Delta {{i}_{g}}}\] where    \[\Delta {{i}_{C}}\] Putting the numerical values, we have \[\Delta {{i}_{g}}\] \[\alpha =0.96,\Delta {{i}_{E}}=7.2,\] Note: Energy of incident photons should be greater than work function of metal for emission of photo electrons to take place.
