Work function of a photosensitive metal is \(3 \mathrm{eV}\). The wavelength of incident radiations which can just eject photoelectrons from the metal is

  1. A \(600 \mathrm{~nm}\)
  2. B \(510 \mathrm{~nm}\)
  3. C \(414 \mathrm{~nm}\)
  4. D \(378 \mathrm{~nm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(414 \mathrm{~nm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, work function, \(\phi=3 \mathrm{eV}\) The wavelength of incident radiation is given by \(\lambda=\frac{h c}{\phi}=\frac{1242}{\phi}=\frac{1242}{3}=414 \mathrm{~nm}\)
