A photosensitive metallic surface is illuminated alternately with lights of wavelength 3100 Å and 6200 Å. It is observed that maximum speeds of the photoelectrons in two cases are in ratio 2 : 1. The work function of the metal is (hc = 12400 eVÅ)
(1) 1 eV                  (2) 2 eV                 (3) 4 3 eV              (4) 2 3 eV

Dear Student ,
The work function of the metal is ,

W=hcλ=124006200eV=2 eV
