The threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission from a material...

The threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission from a material is 5500A∘5500\overset{∘}{A}. Photoelectrons will be emitted, when this material is illuminated with monochromatic radiation from a

A. 75W75W infra-red lamp

B. 10W10W infra-red lamp

C. 75W75W ultra-violet lamp

D. 10W10W ultra-violet lamp

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options

  1. AB and C only
  2. BA and D only
  3. CC only
  4. DC and D only

Correct answer

D. C and D only

Step-by-step solution

Given here, threshold wavelength λth=5500A˚=550nm{\lambda}_{th} = 5500Å = 550nm

For photoelectric emission, the wavelength of the light should be less than 550nm550nm.

Wavelength of infrared radiation extends from 700nm−1mm700nm - 1mm and that of ultraviolet radiation is 100−400nm100 - 400nm.

Since, UV light has less wavelength than 550nm550nm, so only UV would be able to emit photoelectrons.
