Question
Light of wavelength $\lambda$ falls on a metal having work function $\frac{\text{h}_\text{c}}{\lambda_0}.$ Photoelectric effect will take place only if:
  1. $\lambda\geq\lambda_0$
  2. $\lambda\geq2\lambda_0$
  3. $\lambda\leq\lambda_0$
  4. $\lambda<\frac{\lambda_ 0}{2}.$
✓

Answer

  1. $\lambda\leq\lambda_0$
Explanation:
As the work-function of the metal is $\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda_0}$, its threshold wavelength is $\lambda_0.$
For photoelectric effect, the wavelength of the incident light should be less than or equal to the threshold wavelength of the metal on which light is incident.
