A [Delhi Comptt. 2016]
Show Answer
Solution:
Ans. Work function,
Detailed Answer :
The work function of a metal is the minimum energy by it to eject an electron. It is given for metal
Energy of a photon of wavelength
If number of photons
Hence,
[Students please note here the number of photons is less than 1. It indicates that the energy of a photon is more than work function of the metal and this radiation has required energy for photoemission of electrons.]
