JEE Main levelNumerical answerDifficulty 2 of 3as028
Light of frequency 9.2×1014Hz falls on a metal of work function 2.4eV. Find the stopping potential in volts, to two decimals. Use h=6.626×10−34Js and 1eV=1.6×10−19J.
Numerical answer type, answer in V, tolerance 0.02.
Answer: 1.41 V
Photon energy h nu = 6.0959e-19 J = 3.810 eV. e V0 = h nu - W = 3.810 - 2.4 = 1.410 eV, so V0 = 1.41 V.
