In a photoelectric experiment,the collector plate is at $2.0\,V$ with respect to the emitter plate made of copper $(\phi = 4.5\,eV)$. The emitter is illuminated by a source of monochromatic light of wavelength $200\,nm$.

  • A
    The minimum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons reaching the collector is $0$.
  • B
    The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons reaching the collector is $3.7\,eV$.
  • C
    If the polarity of the battery is reversed,then the answer to part $A$ will be $0$.
  • D
    If the polarity of the battery is reversed,then the answer to part $B$ will be $1.7\,eV$.
