A photon of energy \(4 \mathrm{eV}\) imparts all its energy to an electron that leaves a metal surface with \(1.1 \mathrm{eV}\) of kinetic energy. The work function of the metal is

  1. A \(2.9 \mathrm{eV}\)
  2. B \(5.1 \mathrm{eV}\)
  3. C \(3.64 \mathrm{eV}\)
  4. D \(4.4 \mathrm{eV}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2.9 \mathrm{eV}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Work function = Incident energy-K \(\mathrm{E}\) of electron \(=4 \mathrm{eV}-1.1 \mathrm{eV}=2.9 \mathrm{eV}\)
