The work functions of Cesium and Platinum are 1.9 eV and 5.7 eV, respectively. The ratio of their threshold wavelengths, respectively is

  1. A 1:3
  2. B 3:1
  3. C 1:9
  4. D 9:1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 3:1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \lambda_0 = \frac{hc}{\phi} \) \( \frac{\lambda_{0,C}}{\lambda_{0,P}} = \frac{\phi_P}{\phi_C} \) \( \frac{\lambda_{0,C}}{\lambda_{0,P}} = \frac{5.7 \text{ eV}}{1.9 \text{ eV}} = 3 \) Ratio = 3:1
