The work function for a metal surface is 8.28 eV . The threshold wavelength for this metal surface is :

  1. A \(3 \times 10^{-7} m\)
  2. B \(2 \times 10^{-6} m\)
  3. C \(1.5 \times 10^{-7} m\)
  4. D \(2.8 \times 10^{-6} m\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1.5 \times 10^{-7} m\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda_0 = \frac{hc}{\phi}\) \(\lambda_0 = \frac{1240 \text{ eV nm}}{8.28 \text{ eV}}\) \(\lambda_0 = 149.75 \text{ nm} \approx 1.5 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}\)
