Understanding the Photoelectric Effect
The photoelectric effect occurs when light of sufficient energy strikes a material, causing the ejection of electrons. The energy of the incoming light can be calculated using the formula:
Energy (E) = hc / λ
where:
- h = Planck's constant (4.1357 x 10^-15 eV·s)
- c = speed of light (3 x 10^8 m/s)
- λ = wavelength of light (in meters)
Calculating Energy from Wavelength
- Given:
- λ = 155 nm = 155 x 10^-9 m
- Substituting values:
- E = (4.1357 x 10^-15 eV·s) * (3 x 10^8 m/s) / (155 x 10^-9 m)
- E = approximately 8.06 eV
Comparing with Work Function
- Work function of Li = 5 eV
- The excess energy that can be converted into kinetic energy of the emitted electrons is given by:
Kinetic Energy (KE) = E - Work Function
- KE = 8.06 eV - 5 eV
- KE = 3.06 eV
Stoppage Potential
- The stopping potential (V) is equal to the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons in eV.
- Therefore, V = KE = 3.06 eV.
Thus, the stopping potential is approximately 3 eV.
Conclusion
The correct answer is A: 3 eV. This result demonstrates the relationship between light energy, work function, and the kinetic energy of emitted electrons in the context of the photoelectric effect.
