Light of wavelength \(4000 Å\) is incident on a sodium surface for which the threshold wavelength of photo electrons is \(5420 Å\). The work function of sodium is
- A 4.58 eV
- B 2.29 eV
- C 1.14 eV
- D 0.57 eV
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 2.29 eV
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\lambda = 4000 Å, \lambda_0=5420 Å\) \(\therefore\) Work function, \(\begin{aligned} \phi_0=\frac{12400}{\lambda_0(\mathrm{in} Å)} \mathrm{eV} & =\frac{12400}{5420} \\ & =2.29 \mathrm{eV}\end{aligned}\)
