Question:

Which of the following is NOT true ?

Options:

Work function is the same as energy band gap.

For photoemission to occur, the incident frequency must be larger than the threshold frequency.

Photoemission cannot take place at a wavelength higher than the cut-off wavelength.

None of the above.

Correct Answer:

Work function is the same as energy band gap.

Explanation:

Work function is NOT the same as energy band gap. Work function deals in emission of electrons while energy band gap deals in energy difference in conduction and valence electrons.
