Question

Threshold wavelength for lithium metal is 6250˚A. For photo emission, the wavelength of the incident light must be ___________.
  1. Exactly equal to 6250˚A
  2. More than 6250˚A
  3. Equal to or more than 6250˚A
  4. Equal to or less than 6250˚A

A
Exactly equal to 6250˚A
B
Equal to or more than 6250˚A
C
Equal to or less than 6250˚A
D
More than 6250˚A
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The correct option is D Equal to or less than 6250˚A
The threshold wavelength of a material signifies that if the photons of energy corresponding to this wavelength or higher strike onto the material, they will undergo photo electric effect. As the energy of a photon is inversely proportional to wavelength (E=λhc), the photonic wavelength should be less than equal to threshold wavelength.
Option-D is correct
