    The threshold wavelength for a metal having work function\[{{w}_{0}}\text{ }is\text{ }{{\lambda }_{0}}\]. What is the threshold wavelength for a metal whose work function is\[\frac{{{w}_{0}}}{2}\]?

    A)  \[4{{\lambda }_{0}}\]                          

    B)  \[2{{\lambda }_{0}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{0}}}{2}\]                         

    D)  \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{0}}}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Work function of a metal is given by \[w=h{{\nu }_{0}}=\frac{hc}{{{\lambda }_{0}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{w}_{0}}\propto \frac{1}{{{\lambda }_{0}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{{{w}_{0}}}{{{w}_{0}}'}=\frac{{{\lambda }_{0}}'}{{{\lambda }_{0}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{{{w}_{0}}}{\frac{{{w}_{0}}}{2}'}=\frac{{{\lambda }_{0}}'}{{{\lambda }_{0}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{\lambda }_{0}}'\,\,=\,\,2{{\lambda }_{0}}\]
