JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 11. Dual nature of radiation and matter

The work function of a substance is \(3.0\ \mathrm{eV}\). The longest wavelength of light that can cause the emission of photoelectrons from this substance is approximately _______.

  1. A  \(215 \mathrm{~nm}\)
  2. B  \(414 \mathrm{~nm}\)
  3. C  \(400 \mathrm{~nm}\)
  4. D  \(200 \mathrm{~nm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B)  \(414 \mathrm{~nm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For \(P.E.E.\) : \(\lambda \leq \frac{h c}{W_e}\) \(\lambda \leq \frac{1240 \mathrm{~nm}-\mathrm{eV}}{3 \mathrm{eV}}\) \(\lambda \leq 413.33 \mathrm{~nm}\) \(\lambda_{\max } \approx 414 \mathrm{~nm}\) for \(P.E.E.\)
