PhysicsNEET 2023Photoelectric effect and Einstein's equation

Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

The work functions of caesium (Cs), potassium (K) and sodium (Na) are 2.14 eV, 2.30 eV and 2.75 eV respectively. If the incident electromagnetic radiation has an energy of 2.20 eV, which of these photosensitive surfaces may emit photoelectrons?

  1. A.Cs only
  2. B.Both Na and K
  3. C.K only
  4. D.Na only

You have the answer. The worked solution — and why the other three were written — is part of a paid pack.
