In a photoelectric experiment, the collector plate is at 2.0 V with respect to the emitter plate made of copper (φ = 4.5 eV). The emitter is illuminated by a source of monochromatic light of wavelength 200 nm. Find the minimum and maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons reaching the collector.

उत्तर
Given:-
Work function of copper, ϕ = 4.5 eV,
Wavelength of monochromatic light, λ = 200 nm
From Einstein's photoelectric equation, kinetic energy,
`K = E - phi = (hc)/lambda - phi`,
where, h = Planck's constant
c = speed of light
`therefore K = 1242/200 - 4.5`
`= 6.21 - 4.5 = 1.71 "eV"`
Thus, at least 1.7 eV is required to stop the electron. Therefore, minimum kinetic energy will be 2 eV.
It is given that electric potential of 2 V is required to accelerate the electron. Therefore, maximum kinetic energy
`= (2 + 1.7) "eV" = 3.7 "eV"`

The minimum energy required to remove an electron is called ______.
- In the explanation of photo electric effect, we assume one photon of frequency ν collides with an electron and transfers its energy. This leads to the equation for the maximum energy Emax of the emitted electron as Emax = hν – φ0 where φ0 is the work function of the metal. If an electron absorbs 2 photons (each of frequency ν) what will be the maximum energy for the emitted electron?
- Why is this fact (two photon absorption) not taken into consideration in our discussion of the stopping potential?
There are materials which absorb photons of shorter wavelength and emit photons of longer wavelength. Can there be stable substances which absorb photons of larger wavelength and emit light of shorter wavelength.
