Work function of sodium and copper is 2....

Work function of sodium and copper is 2.3 eV and 4.5 eV respectively.Ratio of their threshold wavelength will be…..

A

`1 : 2`

B

`4 : 1`

C

`2 : 1`

D

`1 : 4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Work function
`W_(0)=hf_(0)=(hc)/lambda_(0)implies W_(Na)/W_(Cu)=lambda_(Cu)/lambda_(Na)`
`lambda_(Na)/lambda_(Cu)=W_(Cu)/W_(Na)=4.5/2.3 ~~2`
