Find the maximum wavelength of light that can cause photoelectric effect in lithium.
Text Solution
Verified by Experts
the work functions of lithium is 2.5 eV. The threshold wavelength is ` lambda = hc/varphi .` `= ((4.14 xx (10^-15)eVs) xx ( 3 xx (10^8)m(s^-1))/ 2.5eV)` ` (1242 e V nm / 2.5 eV) = 497 nm.` This is the required maximum wavelength.
