The work function of a substance is 3.0 eV. The longest wavelength of light that can cause the emission of photoelectrons from this substance is approximately;
- 215 nm
- 400 nm
- 414 nm
- 200 nm
Answer
(3) 414 nm
Solution
Threshold (longest) wavelength: = hc 0
hc 1240 eV nm
= 12403.0 nm
413.3 nm 414 nm
Answer: (3)
