  • question_answer
    Threshold wavelength of a photoelectric emission from a material is 600 nm. Which of the following illuminating source will emit photoelectrons?

    A) 400 W, infrared lamp

    B) 10 W, ultraviolet lamp

    C) 100 W, ultraviolet lamp

    D) Both [b] & [c]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Option [d] is correct. Explanation:  The incident wavelength should be less than threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission. IR has wavelength more than 600 nm. UV has wavelength less than 600 nm. So, photoelectrons emitted when illuminated by UV lamp either 100 W or 10 W
