The work function of a substance is 3.0eV3 . 0eV. The longest wavelength of light that can cause the emission of photoelectrons from this substance is approximately:

Options

  1. A215nm215nm
  2. B414nm414nm
  3. C400nm400nm
  4. D200nm200nm

Correct answer

B. 414nm414nm

Step-by-step solution

For longest wavelength, the emitted electron will have nearly zero kinetic energy.

Therefore,

λ=hcWe\lambda = \dfrac{hc}{{W}_{e}}

⇒λ=1240nm−eV3eV⇒ \lambda = \dfrac{1240nm - eV}{3eV}

⇒λ=413.33nm⇒ \lambda = 413 . 33nm

⇒ {\lambda}_\max \approx 414nm
