The work function for tungsten and solidum are 4.5 eV and 2.3 eV respectively. If the threshold wavelength $ \lambda _0 $ for sodium is $ 5460 A ^ \circ $ the value of $ \lambda_0$ for tungsten is....................
$ \phi = hf _0 $ $ = { hc \over \lambda_0 } J = { hc \over \lambda_0 e } eV $ $ \therefore \lambda_0 \alpha {1 \over 0 } $ $ \therefore {\varphi_0( tungsten) \over \varphi _0 (sodium) }= { \varphi (tungsten) \over \varphi (sodium) } ={ 2.3 \over 4.5} $ $ \therefore \lambda_0 tungsten = { 2.3 \over 4.5 } \times 5460 A ^ \circ $ $ = 2790.6 = 2791 A ^ \circ $
