The surface of a metal is illuminated with the light of 400 nm. The kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons was found to be 1.68 eV. The work function of the metal is (hc = 1240 eV nm)

Answer»

3.09 eV
1.42 eV
1.51 eV
1.68 eV

Solution :`K_(max) = (hc)/(LAMBDA) - W_(0) or W_(0) = (hc)/(lambda) - K_(max)`
`= (1240)/(400) - 1.68 = 3.10 - 1.68 = 1.42` eV
