Answer:
Correct Answer: 39. (a)
Solution:
- (a) K.E. $=h v-h v _{\text{th }}=eV_0(V_0=.$ cut off voltage $)$
$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow V_0=\frac{h}{e}(8.2 \times 10^{14}-3.3 \times 10^{14}) \\ & =\frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34} \times 4.9 \times 10^{14}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \approx 2 V \end{aligned} $
