The work functions for metals A,BA, B and CC are respectively 1.92eV,2.0eV1.92 \mathrm{eV}, 2.0 \mathrm{eV} and 5eV5 eV . According to Einstein's equation, the metals which will emit photoelectrons for a radiation of wavelength 4100A˚4100 Å is/are

Options

  1. Anone
  2. BA only
  3. CA and B only
  4. Dall the three metals

Correct answer

C. A and B only

Step-by-step solution

That metal will emit photoelectrons which has work function lower than that obtained with the radiation of 4100A˚4100 Å. Work function for wavelength of 4100A˚4100 Å is W=hcλ=6.62×10−34×3×1084100×10−10=4.8×10−19 J=48×10−191.6×10−19eV=3eV\begin{aligned} W & =\frac{h c}{\lambda} \\ & =\frac{6.62 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{4100 \times 10^{-10}} \\ & =4.8 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J} \\ & =\frac{48 \times 10^{-19}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \mathrm{eV}=3 \mathrm{eV}\end{aligned} Now, we have WA=1.92eV&WB=2.0eVWC=5eV\begin{aligned}& W_A=1.92 \mathrm{eV} \& W_B=2.0 \mathrm{eV} \\ & W_C=5 \mathrm{eV}\end{aligned} Since, WA<WW_A \lt W and WB<WW_B \lt W, hence, AandBA and B will emit photoelectrons.
