Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which metal has a lower threshold wavelength based on their work functions, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Work Function**: The work function (φ) of a metal is the minimum energy required to remove an electron from the surface of that metal. It is given in electron volts (eV). 2. **Identify the Work Functions**: From the question, we have: - Work function of Metal A (φ_A) = 2 eV ...
