Photoelectric threshold of silver is `lamda=3800A`. Ultraviolet light of `lamda=2600A` is incident of a silver surface.(Mass of the electron `9.11xx10^(-31)kg`)` 1. Calculate the value of work function is eV.A. 1.77B. 3.27C. 5.69D. 2.32

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`lamda_0=3800A`
`W=hf_0=h(c)/(lamda_0)=(6.633xx10^(-34)xx3xx10^(8))/(3800xx10^(-10))`
`=5.23xx10^(-19)J=3.27eV`
Incident wavelength `lamda=2600A`
`f=` incident frequency `=(3xx10^(8))/(2600xx10^(-10))Hz`
Then, `KE_(max)=hf-W-0`
`hf=(6.63xx10^(-34)xx3xx10^(8))/(2600xx10^(-10))`
`=7.65xx10^(-19)J=4.78eV`
`KE_(max)=hf-W-0=4.78eV-3.27eV=1.51eV`
`KE_(max)=(1)/(2)mv_(max)^(2)`
or `v_(max)=sqrt((2KE_(max))/(m))`
