उत्तर
Given:
Wavelength of ultraviolet radiation, `lamda = 50 nm = 50xx10^-9m`
We know that the work function of an atom is the energy required to remove an electron from the surface of the atom. So, we can find the work function by calculating the energy required to remove the electron from n1 = 1 to n2 = ∞.
Work function,
`W_0 = 13.6 (1/1 - 1/∞)`
= 13.6 eV
Using Einstein's photoelectric equation, we get
`E = W_0 +KE`
`rArr (hc)/(lamda) - 13.6 =KE (therefore E = (hc)/lamda)`
`rArr 1242/50 - 13.6 = KE`
`rArr KE = 24.84 - 13.6`
= 11.24 eV
