    The photoelectric work function for a metal surface is 4.125 eV. The cut-off wavelength for this surface is

    A) \[4125\,A{}^\circ \]      

    B)        \[3000\,A{}^\circ \]

    C) \[6000\,A{}^\circ \]      

    D)        \[2062\,A{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Since work function for a metal surface is \[W=\frac{hc}{{{\lambda }_{0}}}\] where \[{{\lambda }_{0}}\] is threshold wavelength or cut-off wavelength for a metal surface. here \[W=4.125,eV=4.125\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}Joule\] so \[{{\lambda }_{0}}=\frac{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}{4.125\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}=3000\,\overset{\circ }{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]
