MCQ
Why are alkali metals most suited as photo-sensitive metals?
  • A
    High frequency
  • B
    Zero rest mass
  • C
    High work function
  • D
    Low work function

Answer

  1. Low work function

Explanation:

Alkali metals have low work functions. Even visible radiation can eject out electrons from them. So alkali metals are the most suitable photo-sensitive metals.
