Photoelectric effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Electronvolt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
E[eV]=1240/L[nm]
energy E and wavelength L of a photon.
In our case
E=1240/200=6,2 eV.
The kinetic energy of the fastest ejected electrons is 6,2-4,2=2,0 eV.
The kinetic energy of the slowest ejected electrons is 0 eV because
the work function in our case may be greater than 4,2 eV. When it
reaches 6,2 eV the kinetic energy will be 0.
The stopping potential is 4,2 eV for this situation which is the minimum
energy required to remove a delocalised electron from the surface.
The cutoff wavelength is
L=1240/4,2=295 nm.
