When the energy of the incident radiation is increased nby 20%, the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted from a metal surface increased from 0.5 eV to 0.8 eV. The work function of the metal is
- A0.65 eV
- B1.0 eV
- C1.3 eV
- D1.5 eV
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
0.5 = E –
0.8 = 1.2 E –
From above expressions, work function = 1 eV
