Answer:

Velocity of electron will be [tex]v=0.986\times 10^6m/sec[/tex]              

Explanation:

We have given work function of metal [tex]\Phi =1.05eV=1.05\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}J=1.68\times 10^{-19}J[/tex]

Wavelength of the light [tex]\lambda =324nm=324\times 10^{-9}m[/tex]

So energy is given by [tex]E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }[/tex], here h is plank's constant and c is speed of light

So [tex]E=\frac{6.6\times 10^{-34}\times3\times 10^8}{324\times 10^{-9} }=6.11\times 10^{-19}j[/tex]

For a metal we know that [tex]E=\Phi +KE_{MAX}[/tex]

So [tex]KE_{MAX}=E-\Phi =6.11\times 10^{-19}-1.68\times 10^{-19}=4.43\times 10^{-19}[/tex]

Now kinetic energy is given by [tex]KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

[tex]4.43\times 10^{-19}=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}v^2[/tex]

[tex]v=0.986\times 10^6m/sec[/tex]

So velocity of electron will be [tex]v=0.986\times 10^6m/sec[/tex]

The maximum velocity is obtained by charged particles when electrons in a material owing to an electric field. The maximum velocity of the photoelectron will be 0.986 × 10⁶m/sec.

What is the maximum velocity of the photoelectron?

The average velocity is obtained by charged particles when electrons in a material owing to an electric field.

The work function of the metal is given 1.05 eV.

WF = 1.05 e

WF = 1.05 ×1.6 ×10⁻¹⁹eV

WF = 1.68 ×10⁻¹⁹ J

λ= 324 nm= 324 ×10⁻⁹ m

[tex]E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}[/tex]

[tex]E = \frac{6.6\times10^{-34}}{324\times10^{-9}}[/tex]

[tex]E = 6.11 \times 10^{-19}[/tex]

For a metal

E = ∅+KE

KE = E - ∅

KE = 6.11×10⁻¹⁹ - 1.68×10⁻¹⁹

KE = 4.43 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

[tex]\rm{KE = \frac{1}{2} mV^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]\rm{V^{2} }=\frac{2KE}{m}[/tex]

[tex]\rm{V= \sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}[/tex]

[tex]\rm{V= \sqrt{\frac{2\times 4.43 \times10^{-19}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}}[/tex]

[tex]\rm{V=0.986\times 10^6}[/tex] m/sec.

Hence the maximum velocity of the photoelectron will be 0.986 × 10⁶m/sec.
