For a metal of work function eV, which of the following wavelengths of incident radiation does not give rise to the photoelectric effect ?
(Take Planck's constant as J s)
(Take Planck's constant as J s)
Options
- A nm
- B nm
- C nm
- D nm
Correct answer
C. nm
Step-by-step solution
The threshold wavelength is given by .
Substituting the given values:
m
m nm
For the photoelectric effect to take place, the wavelength of incident radiation must be less than or equal to the threshold wavelength ().
Among the given options, nm is greater than nm.
Thus, radiation of wavelength nm will not give rise to the photoelectric effect.
