Dual Nature Of Light Question 429

Question: Light of wavelength 4000 $ \overset{o}{\mathop{A}}, $ is incident on a sodium surface for which the threshold wave length of photo – electrons is 5420 $ \overset{o}{\mathop{A}}, $ . The work function of sodium is

Options:

A) 4.58 eV

B) 2.29 eV

C) 1.14 eV

D) 0.57 eV

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] $ W_{0}=\frac{12375}{{\lambda_{0}}(\overset{o}{\mathop{A}},)}=\frac{12375}{5420}=2.29eV $
