Question

A metallic surface is illuminated alternatively with light of wavelength 3000 A and 6000 A respectively. It is observed that the maximum speeds of the photoelectrons under these illuminations are in the ratio $$3 : 1$$ . Calculate the work function of the surface in $$\mathrm { eV } . \left( \mathrm { h } = 6.62 \times 10 ^ { - 34 } \mathrm { J } - \mathrm { s } , \mathrm { c } = 3 \times 10 ^ { 8 } \mathrm { m } / \mathrm { s } \right)$$

It has been found that, when the surface of metal is irradiated with radiation of suitable frequency, electrons (photo electrons) are ejected from the surface of metal. Minimum energy required for ejection of electron from metal surface is called work function of metal.
