For photoelectric emission , tungsten requires light of `2300 Å`. If light of `1800 Å` wavelength is incident then emission

A

Takes place

B

Don't take place

C

May or may not take place

D

Depends on frequency

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In tungsten , photoemission take place with a light of wavelength `2300 Å`. As emission of electron is inversely proportional to wavelengths smaller then `2300 Å` will cause emission of electrons.
