Dual Nature Of Light Question 245

Question: The work function of a metal is 4.2 eV, its threshold wavelength will be [BHU 2003; CPMT 2004]

Options:

A) 4000 Å

B) 3500 Å

C) 2955 Å

D) 2500 Å

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ W_{0}(eV)=\frac{12375}{{\lambda_{0}}},\Rightarrow ,{\lambda_{0}}=\frac{12375}{4.2}\approx ,2955,{\AA} $
