उत्तर

A photon of wavelength 663 nm is incident on a metal surface. The work function of the metal is 1.50 eV. The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is 6.0 × 10-20 J.

Explanation:

Given: λ = 663 nm, Φ0 = 1.5 eV

To Find: Max kinetic energy

We know that K.E. = `hf - phi_0`

K.E. = `(hc)/lambda - phi_0`

K.E. = `((6.62 xx 10^-34 xx 3 xx 10^8))/((663 xx 10^-9)) - 1.5 xx 1.6 xx 10^-19`

K.E. = `6 xx 10^-20` J
