MCQ
The best suitable metal for photoelectric effect is:
  • A
    Iron
  • B
    Steel
  • C
    Aluminium
  • D
    Cesium

Answer

  1. Cesium

Explanation:

Photoelectric effect occurs easily if the metal has low ionization potential cesium, the alkali metal has low ionization potential, hence it is best suitable for photoelectric effect.
