When stopping potential is applied in an experiment of photoelectric effect, no photocurrent is observed. This means that

The collector plate in an experiment on photo electric effect is kept vertically above the emitter plate. Light source is put on and a saturation photo current is recorded. Parallel electric and magnetic fields are applied vertically downwards between the plates. Then

Photo electric effect supports quantum nature of light because

Light of wavelength 488 nm is produced by an argon laser which is used in the photoelectric effect. When light from this spectral line is incident on the emitter, the stopping (cut - off) potential of photoelectrons is 0.38 V. Find the work function of the material from which the emitter is made.

The work function of potassium is 2.0 eV. When it is illuminated by light of wavelength 3300A^(@) photo electrons are emitted. The stopping potential of photo electrons is [Plank’s constant h=6.6xx10^(-34)Js,1eV=1.6xx10^(-19)J,C=3xx10^(8)ms^(-1) ]

The maximum wavelength of a beam of light can be used to produce photo electric effect on a metal is 250 nm. The energy of the electrons in Joule emitted from the surface of the metal when a beam of light of wavelength 200 nm is used [h=6.62xx10^(-34)Js,C=3xx10^(8)ms^(-1)]
