The photoelectric cut off voltage in a certain experiment is 1.5 V. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted is then

AnswerClick to flip back
A
1.5 eV
💡 Explanation:
The minimum negative potential applied to the plate or anode  for which the photoelectric current just becomes zero, So, in this case, maximum K.E of an electron will be equal to stopping potential.
Here, $V _0 \, = \, 1.5 \, V,$
Maximum Kinetic energy = $eV _{0} \, = \, 1.5 \,eV$
