Given :-
Energy required to remove an electron from Sodium = 2.3 eV
i.e. work function of Sodium = 2.3 eV
Energy of orange light photon of wavelength 6800 A0
= h (freq)
= h c / (lamda)
= [(6.6 x 10-34 J.s) (3 x 108 m / s)] /
(6800 x 10-10 m)
= 2.91 x 10-19 J.
= [(2.91 x 10-19) / (1.6 x 10-19)] eV
= 1.82 eV
So, Sodium does not show a
photoelectric effect for orange light having wavelength 6800 AU
