Question:

Light of wavelength 400 nm is incident continuously on a cesium ball (work function 1.9 eV) The maximum potential to which the ball will be charged is-

Options:

3.1 V

1. 2 V

Zero

Infinite

Correct Answer:

1. 2 V

Explanation:

$eV_s=\frac{12400}{4000}-1.9=3.1-1.9$

$eV_s=1.2eV$

$V_s=1.2V$
