Question
A monochromatic light source of intensity 6mW emits $8 \times 10^{16}$ photons per second. This light ejects photoelectrons from a metal surface. The stopping potential for this setup is 2.0V. Calculate the work function of the metal.

Answer
$\text{w}_0=\text{hv}-\text{ev}_0$$=\frac{5\times10^{-3}}{8\times10^{15}}-1.6\times10^{-19}\times2$
$($Given $V_0 = 2V,$ No. of photons $= 8 \times 10^{15}$, Power $= 5mW)$
$=6.25\times10^{-19}-3.2\times10^{-19}=3.05\times10^{-19}\text{J}$
$=\frac{3.05\times10^{-19}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}$
$=1.906\text{ev.}$
