Answer:
Emin = eV(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) Joules
Explanation:
Let,
V = Potential Difference between metal and detector OR Stopping Potential
e = charge on electron
Then the minimum energy required by the electron to reach the detector, will be:
Emin = eV
This expression will give the energy in the units of "electron volt" to convert this to Joules, we multiply it by 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹
Therefore,
Emin = eV(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) J
