Question 1 Report

The work function of a metal is 4.65ev and the metal is illuminated with a radiation of 6.86ev. What is the kinetic energy of the electrons ejected from the surface of the metal?
Answer Details
The kinetic energy of the ejected electrons can be calculated using the equation: Kinetic energy of electron = Energy of incident radiation - Work function of the metal Substituting the given values, we have: Kinetic energy of electron = 6.86ev - 4.65ev Kinetic energy of electron = 2.21ev Therefore, the kinetic energy of the electrons ejected from the surface of the metal is 2.21ev. Hence, the correct option is (b) 2.21ev.
