Answer:
material work function is 0.956 eV
Explanation:
given data
red wavelength 651 nm
green wavelength 521 nm
photo electrons = 1.50 × maximum kinetic energy
to find out
material work function
solution
we know by Einstein photo electric equation that is
for red light
h ( c / λr ) = Ф + kinetic energy
for green light
h ( c / λg ) = Ф + 1.50 × kinetic energy
now from both equation put kinetic energy from red to green
h ( c / λg ) = Ф + 1.50 × (h ( c / λr ) - Ф)
Ф =( hc / 0.50) × ( 1.50/ λr - 1/ λg)
put all value
Ф =( 6.63 × (3 ×
) / 0.50) × ( 1.50/ λr - 1/ λg)
Ф =( 6.63 × (3 ×
) / 0.50 ) × ( 1.50/ 651×
- 1/ 521 ×
)
Ф = 1.5305 × J × ( 1ev / 1.6 ×
J )
Ф = 0.956 eV
material work function is 0.956 eV
