In photoelectric emission process from a metal of work function $1.8 \mathrm{eV}$, the kinetic energy of most energetic electrons is $0.5 \mathrm{eV}$. The corresponding stopping potential is
  1. $1.3 \mathrm{~V}$
  2. $0.5 \mathrm{~V}$
  3. $2.3 \mathrm{~V}$
  4. $1.8 \mathrm{~V}$

Solution

Stopping potential $=$ Maximum KE $\mathrm{eV}=\mathrm{KE}_{\max }$ So, option (b) is correct.
