The velocity of the photo electron is 6.11 × 105 ms
Given :
Supplied energy, Es = 5.3 x 10-19 J
Minimum energy of the electron to escape from the metal, E. = 3.6 x 10-19 J
To Find :
Velocity of photoelectron
Solution : The energy supplied by the photon is equal to the sum of minimum escape energy and the kinetic energy of the escaping electron. So
5.3 × 10^-19 J = 3.6 × 10^-19 J + K
K = 5.3 x 10^-19 - 3.6 x 10^-19
K = 1.7 × 10^-19 J
The formula of kinetic energy is given by:
K = 1/2 mv^2
v = √2K/m
= √2 x 1.7 x 10^-19
√ 9.1 x 10^-31
v = 6.11 x 10^5 m/s
So, the velocity of the photo electron is 6.11 x 10^5 m/s
