Modern Physics 2 Question 22
21. The graph between and stopping potential of three metals having work functions and in an experiment of photoelectric effect is plotted as shown in the figure. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct? (Here, is the wavelength of the incident ray).
(a) Ratio of work functions
(b) Ratio of work functions
(c)
(d) The violet colour light can eject photoelectrons from metals 2 and 3
Show Answer
Solution:
- From the relation,
This is equation of straight line.
Slope is
Violet colour has wavelength
So, violet colour can eject photoelectrons from metal-1 and metal-2.
