Why are alkali metals most suited as photo-sensitive metals?(a) High frequency(b) Zero rest mass(c) High work function(d) Low work functionI have been asked this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.My question is from Photoelectric Effect topic in portion Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct choice is (d) Low work function

The best explanation: Alkali metals have low work functions. Even VISIBLE radiation can EJECT out ELECTRONS from them. So alkali metals are the most suitable photo-sensitive metals.
