light with a wavelength of 360 nm shines on a metal surface, which emits electrons. the stopping potential is measured to be 1.15 v.What is the maximum speed of emitted electrons?
Calculate the work function?
Identify the metal.

Sagot :

Maximum speed of emitted electrons is [tex]5.51 * 10^{-19} m/s[/tex] and work function is [tex]1.84 * 10^{-19}[/tex]eV.

We know that maximum speed of emitted electrons is given by: [tex]\frac{hc}{\alpha }[/tex]

where, h = planck's constant = [tex]6.62* 10^{-34}[/tex]

           c = speed of light = [tex]3 * 10^{8} m/s[/tex]

           [tex]\alpha[/tex] = wavelength = 360 nm = [tex]3.6 * 10^{-9} m[/tex]

Putting these values in above equation we get E = [tex]5.51 * 10^{-19} m/s[/tex] .

Also work function is given by:  W = eV

where, W = work function

            e = charge of electron = [tex]1.6 * 10^{-19} C[/tex]

            V = stopping potential = 1.15v

Putting these values in above equation we get W = [tex]1.84 * 10^{-19}[/tex] eV.
