A Photocathode Whose Work Function Is 2.9eV2.9 \mathrm { eV }

Question 85

Multiple Choice

A photocathode whose work function is 2.9eV2.9 \mathrm { eV } is illuminated with white light that has a continuous wavelength band from 400 nm400 \mathrm {~nm} to 700 nm700 \mathrm {~nm} . What is the range of the wavelength band in this white light illumination for which photoelectrons are not produced? (c=3.00×108 m/s,h=6.626( c = 3.00 \times 10^8 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } , h = 6.626 ×1034 Js,1eV=1.60×1019 J\times 10 ^ { - 34 } \mathrm {~J} \cdot \mathrm { s } , 1 \mathrm { eV } = 1.60 \times 10 ^ { - 19 } \mathrm {~J} )


A) 480 nm480 \mathrm {~nm} to 700 nm700 \mathrm {~nm}
B) 430 nm430 \mathrm {~nm} to 700 nm700 \mathrm {~nm}
C) 430 nm430 \mathrm {~nm} to 480 nm480 \mathrm {~nm}
D) 400 nm400 \mathrm {~nm} to 480 nm480 \mathrm {~nm}
