Given: The threshold wavelength of a metal is 550 nm . What is its work function in joules? (Take h = 6.63 × 10â»Â³â´ J s, c = 3 × 10⸠m/s ) These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: v_0 = c/lambda_0 = frac3 × 10â¸âµâµâ° × 10â»â¹ approx 5.455 × 10¹ⴠHz. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: phi_0 = h v_0 = 6.63 × 10â»Â³â´ × 5.455 × 10¹ⴠapprox 3.617 × 10â»Â¹â¹ J . Result: The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kgâ»Â¹ Kâ»Â¹, m/s², 10â»âµ are properly used as per NCERT.
