    Light of wavelength 0.6 \[\mu \]m from a sodium lamp falls on a photocell and causes the emission of photoelectrons for which the stopping potential is 0.5 V. With light of wavelength 0.4 \[\mu \]m from a sodium lamp, the stopping potential is 1.5 V. With this data, the value of \[\frac{h}{e}\] is :

    A)  \[4\times {{10}^{-59}}Vs\]                         

    B)  \[0.25\times {{10}^{55}}Vs\]

    C)  \[4\times {{10}^{-15}}Vs\]                         

    D)  \[4\times {{10}^{-8}}Vs\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    From Einsteins photoelectric equation, the maximum kinetic energy\[({{E}_{k}})\]of electrons given by \[{{E}_{k}}=hv-W\] where W is work function of metal, v the frequency. Also,   \[{{E}_{k}}=eV\]and\[v=\frac{c}{\lambda }\] \[\therefore \]  \[eV=\frac{hc}{\lambda }-W\]                 \[0.5e=\frac{hc}{6\times {{10}^{-7}}}-W\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[0.5=\frac{h}{e}.\frac{c}{6\times {{10}^{-7}}}-\frac{W}{e}\]        ?. (i) and       \[1.5=\frac{h}{e}\frac{c}{4\times {{10}^{-7}}}-\frac{W}{e}\]             ...(ii) Subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i), we get                 \[1=\frac{h}{e}.\frac{c}{{{10}^{-7}}}\left[ \frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{6} \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{h}{e}=\frac{12\times {{10}^{-7}}}{3\times {{10}^{8}}}=4\times {{10}^{-15}}Vs\]
