Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Cu

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the Einstein's theory of photoelectric effect, for the photoelectric effect to occur, the energy of incident radiation should be greater or equal to the threshold energy called work function of the metal. The equation can be illustrated as:…
