JEE Main & Advanced Physics Photo Electric Effect, X- Rays & Matter Waves Question Bank Photon and Photoelectric Effect

  • question_answer
    Sodium and copper have work functions 2.3\[eV\]and 4.5\[eV\] respectively. Then the ratio of their threshold wavelengths is nearest to                                         [AIEEE 2002]

    A)            1: 2

    B)            4 : 1

    C)            2 : 1                                          

    D)            1 : 4

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[{{W}_{0}}\propto \frac{1}{\lambda }\Rightarrow \frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}=\frac{{{({{W}_{0}})}_{2}}}{{{({{W}_{0}})}_{1}}}=\frac{4.5}{2.3}=\frac{2}{1}\].
