A light from Paschen series of hydrogen atom is able to eject photoelectrons from a metal. Then the work function of the metal is

  1. A \(3: 4 \mathrm{eV}\)
  2. B \(1.54 \mathrm{eV}\)
  3. C None of these
  4. D \(1.1 \mathrm{eV}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1.1 \mathrm{eV}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In Paschen series electron transmits from some higher state to \(n=3\) state So photons of paschen series have energies, ranging from \(E_{\min }=E_{n=4}-E_{n=3}\) \(\begin{aligned} & =-0.85-(-1.5 \mathrm{l}) \\ & =0.66 \mathrm{eV}\end{aligned}\) to…
