The work function for sodium metal is 2.46eV . Determine the cutoff wavelength for sodium? Strategy: The cutoff frequency v_(0) is related to the work function through the relation v_(0) = W_(0)//h . This corresponds to a cutoff wavelength of lambda_(0) = (C )/(v_(0)) = (C)/(W_(0)//h) = (hc)/(W_(0)) . wavelength grater than lambda_(0) for a metal with work function W_(0) produce no photoelectric effect.
