A) none
B) A only
C) A and B only
D) all the three metals
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
| Key Idea: That metal will emit photoelectrons which has work function lower than that obtained with the radiation of \[4100\,\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\]. |
| Work function for wavelength of \[4100\,\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\] is |
| \[W=\frac{hc}{\lambda }\] |
| \[=\frac{6.62\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}{4100\times {{10}^{-10}}}\] |
| \[=4.8\times {{10}^{-19}}J\] |
| \[=\frac{4.8\times {{10}^{-19}}}{1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}eV=3\,eV\] |
| Now, we have |
| \[{{W}_{A}}=1.92\,eV,\] |
| \[{{W}_{B}}=2.0\,eV,\] |
| \[{{W}_{C}}=5\,eV\] |
| Since, \[{{W}_{A}}<W\] |
| and \[{{W}_{b}}<W,\] hence, A and B will emit photoelectrons. |
