    What is the work function of the metal if the light of wavelength \[4000\text{ }\overset{o}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] generates photoelectrons of velocity \[6\times {{10}^{5}}m\,{{s}^{-1}}\]from it?
    (Mass of electron \[=9\times {{10}^{-31}}kg,\]
    Velocity of light\[=3\times {{10}^{8}}m\,{{s}^{-1}},\]
    Planck?s constant \[=6.626\times {{10}^{-34}}Js,\]
    Charge of electron\[=1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}Je{{V}^{-1}}\])

    A) 4.0 eV                          

    B) 2.1 Ev

    C) 0.9 eV                          

    D)   3.1 eV

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given, \[\lambda =4000\overset{o}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] \[v=6\times {{10}^{5}}\,m\,{{s}^{-1}}\] \[h\upsilon ={{w}_{0}}+\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\]                    [\[{{w}_{0}}=\]work function] \[{{w}_{0}}=h\upsilon -\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{6.626\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}{4000\times {{10}^{-10}}}-\frac{1}{2}\times 9\times {{10}^{-31}}\times {{(6\times {{10}^{5}})}^{2}}\]\[=(4.9695-1.62){{10}^{-19}}=3.3495\times {{10}^{-19}}J\] \[{{w}_{0}}=\frac{3.3495\times {{10}^{-19}}}{1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}eV=2.0934\approx 2.1eV\]
