Monochromatic radiation of wave length 6...

Monochromatic radiation of wave length 640.2 nm `(1nm=10^(-9)m)` from a neon lamp irradiates a photosensitive material made of calcium or tungsten. The stopping voltage is measured to be 0.54V. The source is replaced by an iron source and its 427.2 nm line irradiates the same photocell. Predict the new stopping voltage.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Use `e V_(0) = h v -phi_(0)` for both sources. From the data on the first source, `phi_(0) = 1.40eV`. Use this value to obtain for the second source `v_(0) = 1.50 V.`
