The work function for sodium surface is 2.0eV and that for aluminium surface is 4.2eV. The two metals are illuminated with appropriate radiations so as to cause protoemission. ThenA. the threshold frequency for sodium will be less than that for aluminiumB. the threshold frequency of sodium will be more than that of aluminiumC. both sodium and aluminium will have the same threshold frequencyD. none of the above |

Answer» Correct Answer - A As work function `W=hv_0`, where `v_0` is the threshold frequency. Greater the work function, greater is the threshold frequency. Therefore, the threshold frequency of sodium will be lesser than that for aluminium. |
