The work function of Cesium is \(2.27 \mathrm{eV}\). The cut-off voltage which stops the emission of electrons from a cesium cathode irradiated with light of \(600 \mathrm{nm}\) wavelength is

  1. A \(0.5 \mathrm{V}\)
  2. B \(-0.2 \mathrm{V}\)
  3. C \(-0.5 \mathrm{V}\)
  4. D None of the above
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) None of the above

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Work function of cesium \(=2.27 \mathrm{eV}\) The wavelength of incident light \[ \lambda=600 \mathrm{nm}=600 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{m} \] The energy of incident photon \(=h v\)…
