        The work function of sodium is 2.3 eV. The threshold wavelength of sodium will be

    A)  \[2900\text{ }\overset{o}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]          

    B)  \[\text{2500 }\overset{o}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    C)  \[\text{5380 }\overset{o}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]          

    D)  \[\text{1200 }\overset{o}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Here, work function \[{{W}_{0}}=2.3\text{ }eV=2.3\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}J\] where,\[{{\lambda }_{0}}\]is the threshold wavelength for sodium. Then, \[{{W}_{0}}=\frac{hc}{{{\lambda }_{0}}}\]or \[{{\lambda }_{0}}=\frac{hc}{{{W}_{0}}}\]                 \[{{\lambda }_{0}}=\frac{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}{2.3\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}\]                 \[=5380\times {{10}^{-10}}m\]                 \[=5380\,\overset{o}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]
