MCQ
Give the unit of work function.
  • A
    Electron volt
  • B
    Joule
  • C
    Hertz
  • D
    Watt

Answer

  1. Electron volt

Explanation:

One electron volt is the kinetic energy gained by an electron when it is accelerated through a potential difference of 1 volt.

Therefore, 1 eV = 1.602 × 10-19 J.
