Asked by admin @ in Chemistry viewed by 268 People


The work function (Ф) of some metals is listed below. The number of metals which will show photoelectric effect when light of 300 nm wavelength falls on the metal is

Answered by admin @



for energy in eV,

e =  \frac{1240}{\lambda}ev  \\ e =  \frac{1240}{300}  = 4.13ev

so for excitation of electron ,

e \geqslant \phi \\

so the metals which will show excitation are Cu,Ag, Fe, Pt,W

Answer is 5
