Question:

In a certain experiment, the photoelectric cut-off voltage is 3.5 V.  What will be the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted?

Options:

5.4 × 10-19 J

0.54 × 10-19 J

3.1 × 10-19 J

5.4 × 10-20 J

Correct Answer:

5.4 × 10-19 J

Explanation:

The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is given by

Kmax = eV0

V0     = 3.5 V

e = 1.6 × 10-19 C

Kmax = 3.5 × 1.6 × 10-19 J

        =5.4 × 10-19 J
