If stopping potentials corresponding to wavelengths `4000A` and `4500A` are 1.3 V and 0.9 V, respectively, then the work function of the metal isA. 0.3 eVB. 1.3 eVC. 2.3 eVD. 5 eV

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`eV_S=(hc)/(lamda)-phi` or `eV_S+phi_0=(hc)/(lamda)`
or `lamda=(hc)/(eV_S+phi_0)`
`implies(lamda_2)/(lamda_1)=(eV_(S1)+phi_0)/(eV_(S2)+phi_0)`
or `(4500)/(4000)=(1.3+phi_0)/(0.9+phi_0) `
or `phi_0=851.-9.xx0.9`
Solving: `phi_0=(10.4-8.1)=2.3eV`
