Copper has a density of8.9103kg/m3, and no photoelectrons are ejected from it if the wavelength of the incident light is greater than8.9103kg/m3(in the ultraviolet range). How deep is the well in which its conduction electrons--one per atom-are bound?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The total depth of copper's potential well isU0=11.6eV

Step by step solution

01

The total depth of a potential well and kinetic energy of photons ejected. 

The total depth of a potential wellU0for a material just the sum of its Fermi energyEFand its work function

U0=EF+

鈥.. (1)

The Fermi energyEFof a materialis given by:

EF=22m[3(2s+1)2VNV]2/3 鈥.. (2)

Also, kinetic energy of photons ejected while being struck by photons is-

KE=hc 鈥.. (3)

Where;

hPlanck's constant

cSpeed of light in vacuum

Work function of material

Wavelength of photon

 Step 2: Find the Fermi energyEF  of a material. 

Given Information:

The density of copper=8.9103kg/m3

The wavelength of photo=275nm

Calculation:

role="math" localid="1658391895008" EF=22m[3(2s+1)2VNV]23=22m[3(2s+1)2VDm]23

Substitute9.11031kg form,1.0551034J.s for h;12fors,8.9103

kg/m3for D, 1.0551025kgand form ,

EF=22m[3(2s+1)2Dm]23=2(1.0551034J.s)2(9.11031kg)[3(2[12]+1)2(8.9103kgm3)(1.0551025kg)]23=1.1261018J

03

Find the work function.

Then the work function needs to be found by the use of equation (3), with the condition that the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons will be 0 for the maximum possible wavelength usedmax$,then solved for :

KE=hc0=hcmax=hcmax

Substitute 2.75107mformax,6.631034J.s , and 3.0108m/sfor c,

=hcmax=(6.631034J.s)(3108ms)(2.75107m)=7.2331019J

04

Find the total depth of copper's potential well.

Now the Fermi energy (1.1261018J)and work function(7.2331019J7.233*1019J) can be combined in equation (1) to get the potential:

U0=EF+=(1.1261018J)+(7.2331019J)=1.851018J

That can be converted to :

U0=(1.851018J)(1eV1.61019J)=11.55eV
