In a photoelectric experiment, a metal is irradiated with light of energy 3.56 eV. If a stopping potential of 1.10 V is required, what is the work function of the metal? a. 1
b. 3.20 eV
c. 2.46 eV
d. 0.644 eV
e. 1.83 eV
d. 4.66 eV

2.46 eV

Explanation:

It is given that,

The energy of light that fall on the metal = 3.56 eV

The stopping potential of the metal = 1.1 V

We need to find the work function of the metal. It is given by the relation as follows :

W = E-KE ...(1)

Where KE is the kinetic energy of the ejected electron and it is given by :

KE = V×e

= 1.1 eV

Put all the values in formula (1)

W = 3.56 eV - 1.1 eV

= 2.46 eV

Hence, the work function of the metal is 2.46 eV. Hence, the correct option is (c).

i believe the answer is a

c) up

hope this
