When the surface of a metal is illuminated with the light of wavelength 400 nm, the KE of the ejected photoelectrons is 1.68 eV. Then the work function of the metal is (hc = 1240 eV-nm) :
- A \(3.1 eV\)
- B \(1.42 eV\)
- C \(1.51 eV\)
- D \(1.68 eV\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(1.42 eV\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\phi = \frac{hc}{\lambda} - KE\) \(\phi = \frac{1240 \text{ eV-nm}}{400 \text{ nm}} - 1.68 \text{ eV}\) \(\phi = 3.1 \text{ eV} - 1.68 \text{ eV}\) \(\phi = 1.42 \text{ eV}\)

Certain types of leukocytes (WBC) of our body like polymorpho-nuclear leukocytes (PMNL-neutrophils) and monocytes and natural killer (type of lymphocytes) in the blood as well as macrophages in tissues can phagocytose and destroy microbes. For determining the cause of allergy, the patient is exposed to or injected with very small doses of possible allergens, and the reactions studied. The use of drugs like anti-histamine, adrenalin and steroids quickly reduce the symptoms of allergy. Heroin, commonly called smack is chemically diacetylmorphine which is a white, odourless, bitter crystalline compound. This is obtained by acetylation of morphine. Techniques like radiography (use of X-rays), CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are very useful to detect cancers of the internal organs. Different species of Plasmodium (P. vivax, P. malaria and P. falciparum) are responsible for different types of malaria. Of these, malignant malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum is the most serious one and can even be fatal.
