The work functions of Caesium (Cs), Potassium (K) and sodium (Na) are \(2.14 \mathrm{eV}, 2.30 \mathrm{eV}\), and 2.75 eV respectively. If incident electromagnetic radiation has an incident energy of 2.41 eV , which of these photosensitive surfaces may emit photoelectrons?
- A Na only
- B K only
- C Both K and Cs
- D Both Cs and Na
Answer & Solution
