    The photoelectric threshold wavelength for potassium (work function being 2 eV) is:

    A)  310 nm                               

    B)  620 nm

    C)  6200 nm                             

    D)  3100 nm

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     The threshold wavelength is \[{{W}_{0}}=\frac{hc}{{{\lambda }_{0}}}\Rightarrow {{\lambda }_{0}}=\frac{hc}{{{W}_{0}}}\]                                       ?(i) Now, putting the given value in Eq. (i) \[{{\lambda }_{o}}=\frac{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}{2\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}\] \[=618.75\times {{10}^{-9}}\approx 620\,mm\]
