Show Answer
Solution:
Ans. Calculating the energy of the incident photon 1 Identifying the metals Reason
The energy of a photon of incident radiation is given by
Hence, only
[Note: Award this
Reason : The energy of the incident photon is more than the work function of only these two metals.
[CBSE Marking Scheme 2018]
Detailed Answer :
Given,
Now for photoelectric emission, we should have energy of incident light higher than the work function of metal. Since work function of
But for
Answering Tips
- Before comparing the work function energy the incident radiation photon energy should be converted in e.V.
