In a photoelectric experiment, the collector plate is at 2.0V with respect to the emitter plate made of copper `(phi)=4.5eV)`. The emitter is illuminated by a source of monochromatic light of wavelength 2000 `Å`nm.

A

The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelctrons reaching the collector is `0`.

B

The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelctrons reaching the collector is `3.7` .eV.

C

If the polarity of the battery is reversed then answer to part A willl be 0

D

If the polarity of the battery is reversed then answer to part B will be `1.7 eV`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`K_(max) = (1242)/(200) eV - 4.5 eV`
`K_(max) = 1.7 eV` at cathode
`K_(max) = (1.7 + 2) eV` at anode
If polarity is reversed, no `e^(-)` reach at collector.
