The work function of a metal is 3 eV. The color of the visible light that is required to cause emission of photoelectrons is _______.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Blue
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned}
& (\mathrm{KE})_{\max }=\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda}-\phi \\
& \frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda} \gt \phi[\text { for emission }] \\
& \lambda \lt \frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\phi} \Rightarrow \lambda \lt \frac{1242}{3} \mathrm{~nm}
\end{aligned}\)
So blue light option (B)
& (\mathrm{KE})_{\max }=\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda}-\phi \\
& \frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda} \gt \phi[\text { for emission }] \\
& \lambda \lt \frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\phi} \Rightarrow \lambda \lt \frac{1242}{3} \mathrm{~nm}
\end{aligned}\)
So blue light option (B)

JEE Mains 2022 Hard - A person lives in a high-rise building on the bank of a river \(50\, m\) wide. Across the river is a well lit tower of height \(40\, m\). When the person, who is at a height of \(10\, m\), looks through a polarizer at an appropriate angle at light of the tower reflecting from the river surface, he notes that intensity of light coming from distance \(X\) from his building is the least and this corresponds to the light coming from light bulbs at height \('Y'\) on the tower. The values of \(X\) and \(Y\) are respectively close to (refractive index of water \( \simeq \frac{4}{3})\)
