NEET Physics Photoelectric Effect MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 12

If the work function of a metal is 2.14 eV and light of frequency 6 × 10^14 Hz is incident on it, what is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons?

A

0.37 eV

B

86 eV

C

14 eV

D

14 eV

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is given by KE_max = hν - φ, where φ is the work function. Using h = 4.14 × 10^-15 eV·s, KE_max = (6 × 10^14 Hz) × (4.14 × 10^-15 eV·s) - 2.14 eV = 0.37 eV.
