Neco 2025 Physics Objective / Multiple Choice Hard Difficulty
Question 23 NECO • 2025 • PHYSICS • objective

In a photoelectric experiment a metal surface of unknown work function \(\phi\) is illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength \(500\ \text{nm}\), producing a stopping potential of \(0.80\ \text{V}\). When the wavelength is changed to \(400\ \text{nm}\) the stopping potential increases by \(0.62\ \text{V}\). (i) Determine the work function \(\phi\) in electron‑volts. (ii) Find the threshold wavelength \(\lambda_{0}\) (in nanometres) for this metal. (Use \(h c = 1240\ \text{eV·nm}\).)

Answer Options

A. φ = 1.20 eV, λ₀ ≈ 1030 nm
B. φ = 1.68 eV, λ₀ ≈ 800 nm
C. φ = 2.10 eV, λ₀ ≈ 590 nm
Correct Answer D. φ = 1.68 eV, λ₀ ≈ 738 nm
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
φ = 1.68 eV, λ₀ ≈ 738 nm
