(Plancks constant h = 6.62 × 10–34 J.s) JEE Main 2020 (Online) 4th September Morning Slot Physics - Dual Nature of Radiation Question 125 English

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 2.10 eV
  • B 2.27 eV
  • C 2.59 eV
  • D 1.93 eV

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Kmax = hf - ϕ

⇒ eV0 = hf - ϕ

at B V0 = 0, f = 5.5

∴ ϕ = hf

= 6.62×10−34×5.5×1014 J

= 6.62×10−34×5.5×10141.6×10−19 eV

= 2.27 eV
