Answer:
Correct Answer: 66. (b)
Solution:
- (b) Threshold wavelength $(\lambda)=2000 \AA$
$=2000 \times 10^{-10} m$.
Work function $(W)=\frac{h c}{\lambda}$
$ \begin{aligned} = & \frac{(6.6 \times 10^{34}) \times(3 \times 10^{8})}{2000 \times 10^{-10}} \\ & =9.9 \times 10^{-19} J=\frac{9.9 \times 10^{-19}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}=6.2 eV \end{aligned} $
