Problem

The work function of a metal surface is 2.3 eV2.3\,\text{eV}. Four monochromatic beams of equal intensity having wavelengths 300 nm (A), 400 nm (B), 500 nm (C) and 600 nm (D) are separately allowed to fall on the surface. hc=1240 eV⋅nmhc = 1240\,\text{eV·nm}. Arrange the beams in the decreasing order of the stopping potential produced. (a) D>C>B>AD > C > B > A (b) A>C>B>DA > C > B > D (c) A>B>C>DA > B > C > D (d) A>B>D>CA > B > D > C
