Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

  1. The potential difference that must be applied to stop the fastest photo electrons emitted by a nickel surface, having work function 5.01 eV, when ultraviolet light of 200 nm falls on it, must be:
    1. 2.4 V ​
    2. – 1.2 V
    3. – 2.4 V
    4. 1.2 V
Correct Option: D

Kmax =
hc
- W =
hc
- 5.01
λλ

=
12375
- 5.01
λ(in Å)

=
12375
- 5.01
2000

= 6.1875 – 5.01 = 1.17775 ≃ ​1.2 V
