Work function of a metal is 5.2 x 10-18, then its threshold wavelength will be

  • 736.7 Ao

  • 760.7 Ao

  • 301 Ao

  • 344.4 Ao

Solution

D.

344.4 Ao

Work function W = hcλ

 h is  Planck's constant

 λ  is wavelength 

 c is the speed of light in vacuum

⇒              λ = hcW

⇒                 = 6.6 × 10-34 ×3 ×1085.26 × 10-18

 ⇒            λ  = 344.4 Ao
