QNEET-2022-Ch-486: NEET 2022 Chemistry - Class 11 NEET-2022-Ch-486 Solution: When electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 300 nm falls on…
When electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 300 nm falls on the surface of a metal electrons are emitted with the kinetic energy of . What is the minimum energy needed to remove an electron from the metal? (h = c = )
Multiple Choice Options
- A 2.31 _ 10 5 J mol _ 1
- B 2.31 _ 10 6 J mol _ 1
- C 3.84 _ 10 4 J mol _ 1
- D 3.84 _ 10 _ 19 J mol _ 1
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Energy of one photon = h c _ ( _ = 300 nm)
For one mole photons, E = h c _ _ N A
E = 6.626 _ 10 _ 34 _ 3 _ 10 8 _ 6.023 _ 10 23 300 _ 10 _ 9
E = 3.99 _ 10 5 J mol _ 1
Kinetic energy = 1.68 _ 10 5 J mol _ 1
W 0 = E _ K . E .
= 3.99 _ 10 5 _ 1.68 _ 10 5
= 2.31 _ 10 5 J mol _ 1
