Dual Nature Of Light Question 273

Question: The photoelectric work function for a metal surface is 4.125 eV. The cut-off wavelength for this surface is [CBSE PMT 1999; KCET 2001]

Options:

A) 4125 Å

B) 2062.5 Å

C) 3000 Å

D) 6000 Å

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ W.,(eV)=\frac{12375}{{\lambda_{0}}({\AA})}\Rightarrow {\lambda_{0}}=\frac{12375}{4.125}=3000{\AA} $
