The correct Answer is:
To find the charge on the sphere when the emission of photoelectrons stops, we can follow these steps:
### Step 1: Calculate the Stopping Potential
The stopping potential (V₀) can be calculated using the formula:
\[ V₀ = \frac{E_{incident} - W}{e} \]
where:
- \( E_{incident} \) = energy of the incident photon = 5 eV
- \( W \) = work function of the material = 3 eV
Substituting the values:
\[ V₀ = 5 \, \text{eV} - 3 \, \text{eV} = 2 \, \text{eV} \]
### Step 2: Relate Stopping Potential to Charge
The stopping potential is also related to the charge (q) on the sphere and its radius (r) by the equation:
\[ V₀ = \frac{q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r} \]
where:
- \( \epsilon_0 \) = permittivity of free space
### Step 3: Rearranging the Equation for Charge
Rearranging the equation to solve for charge (q):
\[ q = V₀ \cdot 4 \pi \epsilon_0 r \]
### Step 4: Substitute the Values
Now substitute the values into the equation. We know:
- \( V₀ = 2 \, \text{V} \)
- \( r = 8 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \)
- \( \epsilon_0 \approx 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{C}^2/\text{N m}^2 \)
Calculating q:
\[ q = 2 \, \text{V} \cdot 4 \pi (8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{C}^2/\text{N m}^2) (8 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}) \]
### Step 5: Perform the Calculation
Calculating the numerical value:
\[ q = 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 3.14 \cdot (8.85 \times 10^{-12}) \cdot (8 \times 10^{-3}) \]
\[ q \approx 2 \cdot 12.56 \cdot 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \cdot 8 \times 10^{-3} \]
\[ q \approx 2.24 \times 10^{-13} \, \text{C} \]
### Conclusion
The charge on the sphere when the emission of photoelectrons stops is approximately:
\[ q \approx 2.24 \times 10^{-13} \, \text{C} \]
