उत्तर
Given:-
Wavelength of light, λ = 350 nm = 350 × 10−9 m
Work-function of cesium, ϕ = 1.9 eV
From Einstein's photoelectric equation,
`E = phi` + Kinetic energy of electron
`⇒ K E = E - phi`
`⇒ K E = (hc)/λ - phi`,
Where λ = wavelength of light
h = Planck's constant
Maximum kinetic energy of electrons,
`E_max = (hc)/λ - phi`
`E_max = (6.63 xx 10^-34 xx 3 xx 10^8)/(350 xx 10^-9 xx 1.6 xx 10^-19) - 1.9`
`E_max = (6.63 xx 3 xx 10^2)/(350 xx 1.6) - 1.9`
`E_max = 1.65 "eV" = 1.6 "eV"`

A mercury lamp is a convenient source for studying frequency dependence of photoelectric emission, since it gives a number of spectral lines ranging from the UV to the red end of the visible spectrum. In our experiment with rubidium photo-cell, the following lines from a mercury source were used:

The stopping voltages, respectively, were measured to be:

Determine the value of Planck’s constant h, the threshold frequency and work function for the material.
[Note: You will notice that to get h from the data, you will need to know e (which you can take to be 1.6 × 10−19 C). Experiments of this kind on Na, Li, K, etc. were performed by Millikan, who, using his own value of e (from the oil-drop experiment) confirmed Einstein’s photoelectric equation and at the same time gave an independent estimate of the value of h.]
