    For photoelectric emission, tungsten requires light of\[2300\,\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]. If light of \[1800\,\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] wavelength is incident, then emission

    A)  takes place

    B)  doesn't take place

    C)  may or may not take place

    D)   depends on frequency

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    If kinetic energy of photoelectron emitted from metal surface is \[{{E}_{k}}\] and \[w\] is the energy required to eject photoelectron's frame the metal, then from Einstein's photoelectron equation is                 \[{{E}_{k}}=hv-w\]                 \[E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }\] Since, wavelength is reduced from \[2300\,\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] to \[1800\,\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] is energy increases have emission takes place.
