JEE Main 2025 — 3 April, Morning Shift — Question 52

The work function of a metal is 3 eV . The color of the visible light that is required to cause emission of photoelectrons is

  1. Option A:

    Red

  2. Option B:

    Yellow

  3. Option C:

    Green

  4. Option D:

    Blue

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

λ=124003A˚=4133A˚\lambda=\frac{12400}{3} Å=4133 Å

and λvisible ∈(3800−7600)A˚\lambda_{\text {visible }} \in(3800-7600) Å

                                                    VIBGYOR

Therefore, most appropriate response is blue.
