    Work function of a metal is 2.1 eV. Which of the waves of the following wavelengths will be able to emit photoelectrons from its surface?

    A)  \[4000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,,\,\,7500\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    B)  \[5500\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,,\,6000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    C)  \[4000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,,\,6000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Threshold wavelength \[{{\lambda }_{0}}=\frac{12375}{2.1}=5892.8\,\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]
