Multiple Choice Questions

111.
The work function of sodium is 2.3 eV. The threshold wavelength of sodium will be

2900 A^o

2500 A^o

5380 A^o

1200 A^o

5380 A^o

Here Work function

W_o =23 eV =2.3 × 1.6 × 10^-19 J

Where λois the wavelength

for sodium.

$W_{o} = \frac{hc}{λ_{o}} \Rightarrow λ_{o} = \frac{hc}{W_{o}} λ_{o} = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{- 34} \times 3 \times 10^{8}}{2.3 \times 1.6 \times 10^{- 19}} = 5380 \times 10^{- 10} m = 5380 A^{o}$
