The work function of a certain metal is ...

The work function of a certain metal is `(hC)/lambda_(0)`. When a monochromatic light of wavelength `lambda lt lambda_(0)` is incident such that the plate gains a total power `P`. If the efficiency of photoelectric emission is `eta%` and all the emitted photoelectrons are captured by a hollow conducting sphere of radius `R` already charged to potential `V`, then neglecting any interaction of potential of the sphere at time `t` is:

A

`V +((100 eta lambda)Pet)/(4 pi epsilon_0 Rhc)`

B

`V -(eta lambda Pet)/(400 pi epsilon_0 Rhc)`

C

V

D

`(lambda "pet")/(4 pi epsilon_0 "Rhc")`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Number of photons emitted per second
`N= (eta)/(100) xx (P lambda)/(hc)`
Potentical of the sphere after time t is
`V=V = ((Ne)t)/(4pi epsilon_0R) =V - (eta Plambda et)/(400 pi epsilon_0 Rhc)`
