NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

Calculate the wavelength of light needed to eject electrons from a metal surface if the work function of the metal is 2.14 eV and the stopping potential is 0.60 eV.

A

454 nm

B

500 nm

C

600 nm

D

350 nm

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using the formula λ = hc/(eV₀ + φ), where φ = 2.14 eV and eV₀ = 0.60 eV, we find λ = 454 nm. The calculation is based on the given NCERT context.
