Question

The threshold wavelength of photoelectric emission of a metal is 4000 Angstroms. What is the minimum energy required to eject a photoelectron?
Options
A 4.96 eV
B 3.1 eV
Correct Answer
C 49.6 eV
D 31 eV
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

E=hc/lambda0=(6.626e-34)(3e8)/(4e-7)=4.97e-19J=3.10eV.

Hint

E=hc/lambda0=(6.626e-34)(3e8)/(4e-7)=4.97e-19J=3.10eV.
