Question 11.3: The photoelectric cut-off voltage in a certain experiment is 1.5 V.
What is the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted?
Step: Find the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted.
Photoelectric cut-off voltage, V0 = 1.5 V
For emitted photoelectrons, the maximum kinetic energy is:
\(K.E._{max}=eV_{0}\)
\(\Rightarrow~K.E._{max}=eV_{0}=1.6\times10^{-19}\times1.5\)
\(\Rightarrow~K.E._{max}=2.4\times10^{-19}~J.\)
