    No photoelectrons are emitted from a metal if the wavelength of the light exceeds 600 nm. The work function of the metal is approximately equal to

    A) \[\text{3 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-16}}}\text{J}\]                          

    B) \[\text{3 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-19}}}\text{J}\]

    C)  \[\text{3 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-20}}}\text{J}\]         

    D)         \[\text{3 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-22}}}\text{J}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The work function \[W=\frac{hc}{\lambda }\] \[=\frac{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}{600\times {{10}^{-9}}}\] \[W=3\times {{10}^{-19}}\](approximately)
