The work function for the following metals is given: Na: 2.75 eV, K: 2.30 eV, Mo: 4.17 eV, Ni: 5.15 eV. Which of these metals will not give photoelectric emission for a radiation of wavelength 3300 Å from a He-Cd laser placed 1 m away from the photocell? What happens if the laser is brought nearer and placed 50 cm away?
