The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem related to the photoelectric effect, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given data - Work function of the metal (Φ) = 4 eV - Frequency of the incident light (ν) = 2.3 × 10¹⁵ Hz - Planck's constant (h) = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s - 1 eV = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ J ### Step 2: Calculate the energy of the incident light The energy of the incident light can be calculated using the formula: \[ E = hν \] Substituting the values: \[ E = 6.626 × 10^{-34} \, \text{J·s} \times 2.3 × 10^{15} \, \text{Hz} \] Calculating this gives: \[ E = 1.52 × 10^{-18} \, \text{J} \] ### Step 3: Convert the energy from joules to electron volts To convert the energy from joules to electron volts, we use the conversion factor: \[ E \, (\text{in eV}) = \frac{E \, (\text{in J})}{1.6 × 10^{-19} \, \text{J/eV}} \] Calculating this: \[ E \, (\text{in eV}) = \frac{1.52 × 10^{-18}}{1.6 × 10^{-19}} \approx 9.5 \, \text{eV} \] ### Step 4: Apply the photoelectric equation The photoelectric equation is given by: \[ E = Φ + KE \] Where: - \( KE \) is the kinetic energy of the emitted electron. Rearranging gives: \[ KE = E - Φ \] Substituting the values: \[ KE = 9.5 \, \text{eV} - 4 \, \text{eV} = 5.5 \, \text{eV} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the stopping potential The stopping potential (Vs) can be calculated using the relationship: \[ KE = eV_s \] Where: - \( e \) is the charge of an electron (1 eV corresponds to 1 V for a single electron). Thus: \[ V_s = KE \] Substituting the value: \[ V_s = 5.5 \, \text{V} \] ### Conclusion From the calculations, we find that: - One photoelectron is ejected which requires a stopping potential of approximately 5.5 V. ### Final Answer The correct statement is: **1 photoelectron is ejected which requires the stopping potential of 5.52 V.** ---
