    The work function of a photo metal is 6.626 eV. Its threshold wavelength will be :

    A)  \[1873\,\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\]

    B)  \[1675\,\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\]

    C)  \[2875\,\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\]

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The minimum energy required for the emission of photoelectron from a metal is called the work function of that metal, and the corresponding wavelength is called wavelength \[(\lambda )\]. \[W=hv=\frac{hv}{\lambda }\] where h is Plancks constant and, c is speed of light. Given, \[W=6.26\,eV=6.626\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}J\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\lambda =\frac{6.62\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}{6.626\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}=1.873\times {{10}^{7}}m\]
