MCQ
The work function for metals $A, B$ and $C$ are respectively $1.92 \mathrm{eV}$, $2.0 \mathrm{eV}$ and $5 \mathrm{eV}$. According to Einstein's equation, the metals which will emit photo electrons for a radiation of wavelength $4100 \mathring A$ is/are
  • A
    None of these
  • B
    $A$ only
  • $A$ and $B$ only
  • D
    All the three metals

Answer

Correct option: C.
$A$ and $B$ only
Energy of incident radiations (in eV) $=\frac{12375}{4100}=3.01 \mathrm{eV}$
Work function of metal $A$ and $B$ are less then $3.01 \mathrm{eV}$,
so $A$ and $B$ will emit photo electrons.
