  1. A 315 nm
  2. B 280 nm
  3. C 330 nm
  4. D 290 nm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 330 nm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Work function of metal ϕ=3.75 eV=3.75×1.6×10-19V=6×10-19V Planck's constant h=6.63×10-34J.s Velocity of light c=3×108 m/s Wavelength = hcϕ=6.63×10-34×3×1086×10-19=331.5 ×10-9m=331.5 nm Hence, the…
