JEE Main & Advanced Physics Photo Electric Effect, X- Rays & Matter Waves JEE PYQ-Photo Electric Effect X-rays

  • question_answer
    In an experiment on photoelectric effect, a student plots stopping potential \[{{V}_{0}}\] against reciprocal of the wavelength \[\lambda \] of the incident light for two different metals A and B These are shown is the figure.
                Looking at the graphs, you can most appropriately say that: [JEE ONLINE 25-04-2013]

    A)             Work function of metal B is greater that that of metal A

    B)             For light of certain wavelength falling on both metal, maximum kinetic energy of electrons emitted from A will be greater than those emitted from B.

    C)             Work function of metal A is greater than that of metal B

    D)             Students data is not correct

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d]                        
    For metal A                  For metal B
                          
    As the value of (increasing and decreasing) is not specified hence we cannot say that which metal has comparatively greater or lesser work function
