Dual Nature Of Light Question 339

Question: For photoelectric emission, tungsten requires light of 2300 Å. If light of 1800 Å wavelength is incident then emission [AFMC 2005]

Options:

A) Takes place

B) Don?t take place

C) May or may not take place

D) Depends on frequency

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

In tungsten, photoemission take place with a light of wavelength 2300 Å. As emission of electron is inversely proportional to wavelength, all the wavelengths smaller then 2300 Å will cause emission of electrons.
