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

    A) \[3000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    B) \[4500\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    C) \[6000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    D) \[4125\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]  

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Given, \[W=4.125eV=4.125\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}J.\] If \[{{\lambda }_{0}}\] is the cut off wavelength for this surface                 \[{{\lambda }_{0}}=\frac{hc}{W}=\frac{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}{4.125\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}\]                 \[=3000\times {{10}^{-10}}=3000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]
