A photographic film is coated with a silver bromide layer. When light falls on this film, silver bromide molecules dissociate and the film records the light there. A minimum of 0.6 eV is needed to dissociate a silver bromide molecule. Find the maximum wavelength of light that can be recorded by the film.

Given, work function Ф=0.6eV

We know that Ф=hc/λ


Where h is the Planck’s constant


C is the speed of the light


λ is the wavelength of the light.


for λ to be maximum Ф should be minimum
