The work function for Tungsten and Sodium are 4.2 eV and 2.3 eV, respectively. If the threshold wavelength for Sodium is 5460 \(\text{\AA}\), then that for tungsten is :
- A 2990 Å
- B 5893 Å
- C 9970 Å
- D 2791 Å
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 2990 Å
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\phi = \frac{hc}{\lambda_0}\) \(\lambda_{0,W} = \lambda_{0,Na} \frac{\phi_{Na}}{\phi_W}\) \(\lambda_{0,W} = 5460 \text{ Å} \times \frac{2.3 \text{ eV}}{4.2 \text{ eV}}\) \(\lambda_{0,W} = 2990 \text{ Å}\)

Species diversity on earth is not uniformly distributed. It is generally highest in the tropics and decreases towards the poles. Earth's fossil history reveals the incidences of mass extinctions in the past. Earth's rich biodiversity is vital for the very survival of mankind. It is believed that communities with high diversity tend to be less variable and more productive. The reasons of conserving biodiversity are narrowly utilitarian, broadly utilitarian and ethical. Biodiversity conservation may be in-situ as well as ex-situ.
