The work function for a metal is 4.14 eV. The threshold wavelength for this metal surface is: $(h=6.62×10^{-34}Js, c=3×10^8 ms^{-1})$ |
4135 Å 6000 Å 2062.5 Å 3000 Å |
3000 Å |
The correct answer is Option (4) → 3000 Å The threshold wavelength ($λ_{threshold}$) for a metal to it's work function ($\phi$) using the equations - $\phi=\frac{hc}{λ_{threshold}}$ where, $\phi$, work function = $4.14eV$ [given] $∴λ_{threshold}=\frac{4.1357×10^{-15}×3×10^8}{4.14}$ $≃3000 Å$ |
