JEE MAIN - Physics (2023 - 29th January Morning Shift - No. 16)

The threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission from a material is 5500 $$\mathop A\limits^o $$. Photoelectrons will be emitted, when this material is illuminated with monochromatic radiation from a

A. 75 W infra-red lamp

B. 10 W infra-red lamp

C. 75 W ultra-violet lamp

D. 10 W ultra-violet lamp

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

C only
A and D only
C and D only
B and C only

Explanation

Wavelength of infra-red $=700 \mathrm{~nm}$ (minimum)

Wavelength of UV $=100-400 \mathrm{~nm}$

Since we need $\lambda<5000$ Å

$\Rightarrow$ Only UV would be able to emit photoelectrons.
