Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter - Result Question 75

79. Ultraviolet radiations of $6.2 eV$ falls on an aluminium surface. K.E. of fastest electron emitted is (work function $=4.2 eV$ )

[1989]

(a) $3.2 \times 10^{-21} J$

(b) $3.2 \times 10^{-19} J$

(c) $7 \times 10^{-25} J$

(d) $9 \times 10^{-32} J$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 79. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) K.E. of fastest electron $=E-W_0=6.2-4.2=2.0 eV$ $=2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}=3.2 \times 10^{-19} J$
