The work functions for sodium and copper are `2 eV` and `4 eV` . Which of them is suitable for a photocell with `4000 Å` light ?A. CopperB. SodiumC. BothD. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Threshold wavelength for `Na` ,
`lambda_(Na) gt (12375)/(2) = 6187.5 Å`
Also `lambda_( cu) = ( 12375)/( 4) = 3093.75`
Since `lambda_(Na) gt 4000 Å` , So `Na` is suitable.
