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. |
