Question:

UV radiation of 6.2 eV falls on aluminium surface of work function 4.2 eV. The stopping potential for the surface is:

Options:

10.4 V

2 V

1.5 V

4.2 V

Correct Answer:

2 V

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 2 V

Using Photoelectric equation,

$eV_s=K.E.max=E_{photon}-\phi$

$⇒eV_s=6.2-4.2$

$⇒eV_s=2eV$

$⇒V_s=\frac{2}{e}=\frac{2}{1}=2V$
