The work function of a photosensitive material is 4.0 eV. The longest wavelength of light that can cause electron emission from the material is (approximately)

  1. A 3100 nm
  2. B 966 nm
  3. C 31 nm
  4. D 310 nm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 310 nm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda_0 = \frac{hc}{\phi}\) \(\lambda_0 = \frac{1240 \text{ eV nm}}{4.0 \text{ eV}}\) \(\lambda_0 = 310 \text{ nm}\)
