    $3.2 \times 10^{-21} \, J$
  • B
    $3.2 \times 10^{-19} \, J$

The photoelectric cut-off voltage in a certain experiment is $1.5 \ V$. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons?

$A$ mercury lamp is a convenient source for studying the frequency dependence of photoelectric emission,as it provides a number of spectral lines ranging from the $UV$ to the red end of the visible spectrum. In our experiment with a rubidium photocell,the following lines from a mercury source were used:
$\lambda_1 = 3650 \,\mathring{A}, \lambda_2 = 4047 \,\mathring{A}, \lambda_3 = 4358 \,\mathring{A}, \lambda_4 = 5461 \,\mathring{A}, \lambda_5 = 6907 \,\mathring{A}$
The stopping voltages,respectively,were measured to be:
$V_{01} = 1.28 \,V, V_{02} = 0.95 \,V, V_{03} = 0.74 \,V, V_{04} = 0.16 \,V, V_{05} = 0 \,V$
