JIPMER2013PhysicsDual Nature of Matter
The work function for metals A, B and C are respectively 1.92 eV , 2.0 eV and 5 eV. According to Einstein's equation the metals which will emit photo, electrons for a radiation of wavelength 4100 Å is/are
Options
- Anone
- BA only
- CA and B only
- DAll the three metals
Correct answer
C. A and B only
Step-by-step solution
Work function for wavelength of 4100 Å is aligned W & = h c & = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10^8 4100 10⁻¹⁰ & =4.8 10⁻¹⁹ ~J & = 4.8 10⁻¹⁹ 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ eV & =3 eV aligned Now, we have aligned & W_A=1.22 eV & W_B=2.0 eV & W_C=5 eV aligned Since, W_A W and W_B W , hence A and B will emit photoelectrons.
