    The work function for aluminium surface is 4.2eV. The cut-off wavelength for the photoelectric effect is

    A) \[2955\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    B) \[4200\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    C) \[2000\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    D) \[1000\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    If \[{{\lambda }_{0}}\] is threshold wavelength, then work function \[{{\phi }_{0}}=\frac{hc}{{{\lambda }_{0}}}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{\lambda }_{0}}=\frac{hc}{{{\phi }_{0}}}\]                                 \[=\frac{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}{4.2\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}\]                                 \[=2955\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]
