The work function for a metallic surface is 4.0 eV. The longest wavelength of light that can cause photoelectron emission is approximately:

  1. A 540 nm
  2. B 400 nm
  3. C 310 nm
  4. D 220 nm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 310 nm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda_{max} = \frac{hc}{\phi}\) \(\lambda_{max} = \frac{1240 \text{ eV·nm}}{4.0 \text{ eV}}\) \(\lambda_{max} = 310 \text{ nm}\)
