Work function of sodium is 2.3 eV. Does sodium show photoelectric emission for orange light `(lambda=6800Å)`?
Given `h=6.63xx10^(-34)Js`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The threshold wavelength of sodium
` lambda _(0) = (hc)/(E) = (6.6 xx 10^(-34) xx 3xx 10^(8))/( 2.3 xx 1.6 xx 10^(-19)) = 5380 A `
As given wavelength ` lambda = 6800 A gt ` threhold wavelength ` lambda_(0) = 5380 A ` , no photoelectric emission will take place .
