Question:

The threshold frequency for photo electric effect on sodium corresponds to a wavelength 5000 Å. Its work function is

Options:

15 Joule

10 × 10–19 Joule

4 × 10–19 Joule

None of these

Correct Answer:

4 × 10–19 Joule

Explanation:

$\phi=\frac{hc}{λ_0}$

$\phi=\frac{20×10^{-26}}{5000×10^{-10}}=4×10^{-19}Joule$
