Physics Question on Photoelectric Effect

The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from a surface when photons of energy 6 eV fall on it is 4 eV. The stopping potential in volt is

A

2

B

4

C

6

D

10

Answer

4

Explanation

Solution

Stopping potential is the negative potential applied to stop the electrons having maximum kinetic energy. Therefore, stopping potential will be 4 V.
