Q75 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (25 Feb Shift 2) · Physics

The stopping potential for electrons emitted from a photosensitive surface illuminated by light of wavelength 491 nm is 0.710 V. When the incident wavelength is changed to a new value, the stopping potential is 1.43 V. The new wavelength is :

  • Correct answer
    A
    382 nm
  • B
    309 nm
  • C
    329 nm
  • D
    400 nm

Solution

hcλ=ϕ+eVs

1240491=ϕ+0.71      ...1

1240λ=ϕ+1.43      ...2

∴λ=382 nm

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
