The work function of a substance is 4.0 eV. The longest wavelength of light that can cause photoelectron emission from this substance is approximately

Answer»

540 nm
400 nm
310 nm
220 nm

Solution :`phi_(0)=hv_(0)=(HC)/(lamda_(0))` and if `phi_(0)` be in eV then `phi_(0)=(hc)/(elamda_(0))`
`therefore lamda_(0)=(hc)/(e*phi_(0))=(6.63xx10^(-34)xx3xx10^(8))/(1.6xx10^(-19)xx4.0)=3.1xx10^(-7)=310nm`.
