Q77 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (31 Jan Shift 2) · Physics

If the two metals A and B are exposed to radiation of wavelength 350 nm. The work functions of metals A and B are 4.8 eV and 2.2 eV. Then choose the correct option

  • A
    Metal B will not emit photo-electrons
  • B
    Both metals A and B will emit photo-electrons
  • C
    Both metals A and B will not emit photoelectrons
  • Correct answer
    D
    Metal A will not emit photo-electrons

Solution

As we know, for photoelectric emission, hν>ϕ.

Now,

hν=hcλ=1240350 eV=3.54 eV

Therefore, only metal B will emit photoelectrons.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
