A monochromatic light beam with a quantum energy value of 4.3 ev is incident upon a photocell. the work function of the photocell is 2.2 ev. what is the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electrons?

Respuesta :

give me some answer choices and i will be happy to help

As per Einstein's Photo electric effect theory

[tex]E = \phi + KE[/tex]

the energy which incident in form of photon will be absorbed by the metal surface and some of the energy is released in form of KE of ejected electrons

[tex]E = 4.3 eV[/tex]

[tex]\phi = 2.2 eV[/tex]

now from the above equation

[tex]E = \phi + KE[/tex]

[tex]4.3 = 2.2 + KE[/tex]

[tex]KE = 2.1 eV[/tex]
