The photoelectric cut-off voltage in a certain experiment is 1.5 V. What is the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted?
Photoelectric cut-off voltage, V0 = 1.5 V
The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is given as: Ke = eVo
Where,
e = Charge on an electron = 1.6 × 10−19 C
∴ Ke = 1.6 x 10-19 x 1.5 = 2.4 x 10-19 J
Therefore, the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the given experiment is 2.4 × 10−19 J.
