Question 138 of 200
The threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission from a material is . Photoelectrons will be emitted, when this material is illuminated with monochromatic radiation from a
A. infra-red lamp
B. infra-red lamp
C. ultra-violet lamp
D. ultra-violet lamp
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Show answer and solution
Answer: (D) C and D only
Given here, threshold wavelength
For photoelectric emission, the wavelength of the light should be less than .
Wavelength of infrared radiation extends from and that of ultraviolet radiation is .
Since, UV light has less wavelength than , so only UV would be able to emit photoelectrons.
