Two metals, X and Y have work functions, 4 eV and 10 eV, respectively. The ratio of threshold wavelengths of metal X to metal Y is

  1. A \( 5:2 \)
  2. B \( 1:1 \)
  3. C \( 2:5 \)
  4. D \( 4:25 \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 5:2 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda_0 = \frac{hc}{\phi}\) \(\frac{\lambda_{0X}}{\lambda_{0Y}} = \frac{\phi_Y}{\phi_X}\) \(\frac{\lambda_{0X}}{\lambda_{0Y}} = \frac{10 \text{ eV}}{4 \text{ eV}}\) \(\frac{\lambda_{0X}}{\lambda_{0Y}} = \frac{5}{2}\)
