The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of how the stopping potential changes when the wavelength is changed from 4000 Å to 3000 Å, we can use the Einstein equation for the photoelectric effect. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Write the Einstein Equation The Einstein equation for the photoelectric effect is given by: \[ E \cdot V_0 = \frac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi \] Where: - \( E \) is the charge of the electron. - \( V_0 \) is the stopping potential. - \( h \) is Planck's constant (\(6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js}\)). - \( c \) is the speed of light (\(3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}\)). - \( \lambda \) is the wavelength. - \( \phi \) is the work function. ### Step 2: Set Up the Equations for Both Wavelengths For the two different wavelengths, we can set up two equations: 1. For \( \lambda_1 = 4000 \, \text{Å} \): \[ E \cdot V_{0_1} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_1} - \phi \] 2. For \( \lambda_2 = 3000 \, \text{Å} \): \[ E \cdot V_{0_2} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_2} - \phi \] ### Step 3: Rearrange the Equations Rearranging both equations to express the work function \( \phi \): From equation 1: \[ \phi = \frac{hc}{\lambda_1} - E \cdot V_{0_1} \] From equation 2: \[ \phi = \frac{hc}{\lambda_2} - E \cdot V_{0_2} \] ### Step 4: Equate the Two Expressions for \( \phi \) Setting the two expressions for \( \phi \) equal to each other gives: \[ \frac{hc}{\lambda_1} - E \cdot V_{0_1} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_2} - E \cdot V_{0_2} \] ### Step 5: Solve for the Change in Stopping Potential Rearranging gives: \[ E \cdot V_{0_2} - E \cdot V_{0_1} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_2} - \frac{hc}{\lambda_1} \] Factoring out \( E \): \[ E \cdot (V_{0_2} - V_{0_1}) = hc \left( \frac{1}{\lambda_2} - \frac{1}{\lambda_1} \right) \] Now, we can express the change in stopping potential: \[ V_{0_2} - V_{0_1} = \frac{hc}{E} \left( \frac{1}{\lambda_2} - \frac{1}{\lambda_1} \right) \] ### Step 6: Substitute Values Now we substitute the known values: - \( h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js} \) - \( c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \) - \( E = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} \) (charge of an electron) - \( \lambda_1 = 4000 \, \text{Å} = 4000 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \) - \( \lambda_2 = 3000 \, \text{Å} = 3000 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \) Calculating: \[ V_{0_2} - V_{0_1} = \frac{(6.626 \times 10^{-34})(3 \times 10^8)}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \left( \frac{1}{3000 \times 10^{-10}} - \frac{1}{4000 \times 10^{-10}} \right) \] ### Step 7: Calculate the Values 1. Calculate \( \frac{hc}{E} \): \[ \frac{(6.626 \times 10^{-34})(3 \times 10^8)}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \approx 1.241 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{V} \] 2. Calculate \( \frac{1}{3000 \times 10^{-10}} - \frac{1}{4000 \times 10^{-10}} \): \[ \frac{1}{3 \times 10^{-7}} - \frac{1}{4 \times 10^{-7}} = \frac{4 - 3}{12} = \frac{1}{12} \] 3. Combine the results: \[ V_{0_2} - V_{0_1} = 1.241 \times 10^{-6} \times \frac{1}{12} \approx 0.1034 \, \text{V} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the change in stopping potential is approximately \( 0.1034 \, \text{V} \). ---
