When a metallic surface is illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength `lambda`, the stopping potential is `5 V_0`. When the same surface is illuminated with the light of wavelength `3lambda`, the stopping potential is `V_0`. Then, the work function of the metallic surface isA. `hc//6lambda`B. `hc//5lambda`C. `hc//4lambda`D. `2hc//4lambda`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`e(5V_0) = (hc)/(lambda) -W….(i)`
`eV_0 = (hc)/(3lambda) -W …(ii)`
Solving these equations, we get
`W =(hc)/(6lambda).`
