Correct Answer – D
Only signal having wavelength less than threshold wavelength will be detercted.
Energy `E=hv=h(c)/(lamda)implieslamda=(hc)/(E)`
Substituting the value of h, c and E in the above equation
`lamda=(6.6xx10^(-34)xx3xx10^(8))/(2.5xx1.6xx10^(-19))=5000Å`
As `4000Ålt5000Å`
Signal of wavelength `4000Å` can be detected by the photodiode
