The work functions of cesium (Cs) and lithium (Li) metals are 1.9 eV and 2.5 eV , respectively. If we incident a light of wavelength 550 nm on these two metal surfaces, then photo-electric effect is possible for the case of
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Cs only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(E=\frac{1240 \mathrm{eV} \cdot \mathrm{~nm}}{550 \mathrm{~nm}}=2.25 \mathrm{eV}\)
Possible for \(C_s\) as \(E > \phi_{c s}\)
Not for Li as \(E < \phi_{L i}\)
Possible for \(C_s\) as \(E > \phi_{c s}\)
