The work function (phi) of some metals ...

The work function `(phi)` of some metals is listed below. The number of metals which will show photoelectric effect when light of `300` nm wavelength falls on the metal is
`((Me t a l ,Li, Na , K , Mg, Cu, Ag , Fe , Pt, W),( phi(eV), 2.4, 2.3, 2.2, 3.7, 4.8, 4.3, 4.7, 6.3, 4.75))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
4
`E_("photon")=12400/3000=4.13 ev`
Photoelectric effect can take place only if `E_("photon") ge phi`
Thus,
`Li, Na, K, Mg` can show photoectric effect.
