  1. Question 1

    Q1. The threshold wavelength for a metal is 500 nm. What is the work function of the metal?

    • A) 2.48 eV
    • B) 1.24 eV
    • C) 4.96 eV
    • D) 0.62 eV

    Answer: 2.48 eV

    Explanation: Work function = hc/λ = (6.63×10^-34 × 3×10^8)/(500×10^-9 × 1.6×10^-19) = 2.48 eV. Other options miscalculate.
