The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to use the photoelectric effect equation, which relates the stopping potential (V), the wavelength of the incident photon (λ), the work function (φ), and Planck's constant (h) along with the speed of light (c). The equation is given by: \[ eV = \frac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi \] Where: - \( e \) is the charge of an electron, - \( V \) is the stopping potential, - \( h \) is Planck's constant, - \( c \) is the speed of light, - \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of the incident photon, - \( \phi \) is the work function of the material. ### Step 1: Write the equations for the two given wavelengths For the first wavelength \( \lambda_1 \): \[ eV = \frac{hc}{\lambda_1} - \phi \] (Equation 1) For the second wavelength \( \lambda_2 \), where the stopping potential is three times the first: \[ e(3V) = \frac{hc}{\lambda_2} - \phi \] (Equation 2) ### Step 2: Rearranging the equations From Equation 1: \[ \phi = \frac{hc}{\lambda_1} - eV \] Substituting this expression for \( \phi \) into Equation 2 gives: \[ 3eV = \frac{hc}{\lambda_2} - \left(\frac{hc}{\lambda_1} - eV\right) \] ### Step 3: Simplifying the equation Now, rearranging the equation: \[ 3eV + eV = \frac{hc}{\lambda_2} - \frac{hc}{\lambda_1} \] \[ 4eV = \frac{hc}{\lambda_2} - \frac{hc}{\lambda_1} \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( V \) Factoring out \( hc \): \[ 4eV = hc \left(\frac{1}{\lambda_2} - \frac{1}{\lambda_1}\right) \] \[ V = \frac{hc}{4e} \left(\frac{1}{\lambda_2} - \frac{1}{\lambda_1}\right) \] ### Step 5: Finding the work function Now, we can express the work function \( \phi \) using the value of \( V \): Substituting \( V \) back into the equation for \( \phi \): \[ \phi = \frac{hc}{\lambda_1} - eV \] \[ \phi = \frac{hc}{\lambda_1} - e \left(\frac{hc}{4e} \left(\frac{1}{\lambda_2} - \frac{1}{\lambda_1}\right)\right) \] \[ \phi = \frac{hc}{\lambda_1} - \frac{hc}{4} \left(\frac{1}{\lambda_2} - \frac{1}{\lambda_1}\right) \] ### Step 6: Calculate the stopping potential for \( \lambda_3 \) Now, we need to find the stopping potential \( V' \) for the wavelength \( \lambda_3 \): \[ eV' = \frac{hc}{\lambda_3} - \phi \] Substituting the expression for \( \phi \): \[ eV' = \frac{hc}{\lambda_3} - \left(\frac{hc}{\lambda_1} - \frac{hc}{4} \left(\frac{1}{\lambda_2} - \frac{1}{\lambda_1}\right)\right) \] ### Step 7: Final expression for \( V' \) This gives us the final expression for the stopping potential \( V' \): \[ V' = \frac{hc}{e} \left(\frac{1}{\lambda_3} - \left(\frac{1}{\lambda_1} - \frac{1}{4} \left(\frac{1}{\lambda_2} - \frac{1}{\lambda_1}\right)\right)\right) \] ### Conclusion Thus, the stopping potential for the wavelength \( \lambda_3 \) can be calculated using the above expression.
