The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the photoelectric effect equation and the given parameters. ### Step 1: Understand the given parameters - Work function of copper, \( \phi = 4.5 \, \text{eV} \) - Collector plate voltage, \( V_0 = 2.0 \, \text{V} \) - Wavelength of light, \( \lambda = 2000 \, \text{Å} = 2000 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \) ### Step 2: Calculate the energy of the incident photons We can calculate the energy of the incident photons using the formula: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] Where: - \( h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js} \) (Planck's constant) - \( c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \) (speed of light) Substituting the values: \[ E = \frac{(6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js})(3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s})}{2000 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m}} \] ### Step 3: Perform the calculation Calculating the numerator: \[ 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8 = 1.989 \times 10^{-25} \, \text{Jm} \] Now, divide by the wavelength: \[ E = \frac{1.989 \times 10^{-25}}{2000 \times 10^{-10}} = \frac{1.989 \times 10^{-25}}{2 \times 10^{-7}} = 9.945 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \] ### Step 4: Convert energy from Joules to electron volts To convert Joules to electron volts, use the conversion factor \( 1 \, \text{eV} = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \): \[ E = \frac{9.945 \times 10^{-19}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \approx 6.215625 \, \text{eV} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons Using the photoelectric equation: \[ K_{\text{max}} = E - \phi + eV_0 \] Substituting the values: \[ K_{\text{max}} = 6.215625 \, \text{eV} - 4.5 \, \text{eV} + 2.0 \, \text{V} \] \[ K_{\text{max}} = 6.215625 - 4.5 + 2 = 3.715625 \, \text{eV} \] ### Final Answer The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons is approximately \( 3.72 \, \text{eV} \). ---

To solve the problem step by step, we will use the photoelectric effect equation and the given parameters. ### Step 1: Understand the given parameters - Work function of copper, \( \phi = 4.5 \, \text{eV} \) - Collector plate voltage, \( V_0 = 2.0 \, \text{V} \) - Wavelength of light, \( \lambda = 2000 \, \text{Å} = 2000 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \) ### Step 2: Calculate the energy of the incident photons ...
