The threshold wavelength for a metal is ...

The threshold wavelength for a metal is 4000 Å. A radiation of wavelength 5000 Å is incident on the metal. Can it cause P.E.E?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No. this is because `lambdagt lambda_(0)` The PEE takes place only for `lambda lt lambda_(0)`.
