NEET 2014 Physics Work Function MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

When the energy of the incident radiation is increased by 20%, the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted from a metal surface increased from 0.5 eV to 0.8 eV. The work function of the metal is

A

0.65 eV

B

1.0 eV

C

1.3 eV

D

1.5 eV

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using the photoelectric equation, the work function can be calculated as the difference between the initial energy and the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons.
