MCQ
The best suitable metal for photoelectric effect is:
- AIron
- BSteel
- CAluminium
- ✓Cesium
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Cesium
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.
