Question 18

In a photoelectric effect experiment, monochromatic ultraviolet radiation of wavelength 280 nm280\text{ nm}280 nm is incident on a clean metal surface. To reduce the resulting photoelectric current to zero, a stopping potential of 1.45 V must be applied.

The radiation source is then replaced by one emitting radiation of wavelength 210 nm210\text{ nm}210 nm.

What is the new stopping potential required to reduce the photoelectric current to zero?
