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

The work functions of Caesium \((Cs)\),Potassium \((K)\) and Sodium \((Na)\) are \(2.14\,eV,2.30\,eV\) and \(2.75\,eV\) respectively. If incident electromagnetic radiation has an incident energy of \(2.20\, eV\), which of these photosensitive surfaces may emit photoelectrons?

  1. A \(Na\) only
  2. B \(Cs\) only
  3. C Both \(Na\) and \(K\)
  4. D \(K\) only
