The threshould frequency for a metallic ...

The threshould frequency for a metallic surface corresponds to an energy of `6.2eV` and the stopping potential for a radiation insident on this surface is `5 V` . The incident radiation lies in

A

ultra - violet region

B

infra- red regaion

C

visible region

D

X- ray ragion

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`phi = 6.2 eV= 6.2 xx 10^(-19)J`
`rArr lambda = (hc)/(phi + eV_(0)) = (6.6 xx 10^(-34) xx 3 xx 10^(8))/(1.6 xx 10^(-19) (6.2 + 5))= 10^(-7) m `
This rang lies in ultra violet range
