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

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

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

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

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

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

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