Dual Nature Of Matter Question 3

Question 3 - 2024 (27 Jan Shift 2)

The threshold frequency of a metal with work function $6.63 \mathrm{eV}$ is :

(1) $16 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~Hz}$

(2) $16 \times 10^{12} \mathrm{~Hz}$

(3) $1.6 \times 10^{12} \mathrm{~Hz}$

(4) $1.6 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~Hz}$

Show Answer

Answer: (4)

Solution:

$\phi_{0}=h v_{0}$

$6.63 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}=6.63 \times 10^{-34} v_{0}$

$v_{0}=\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{10^{-34}}$

$v_{0}=1.6 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~Hz}$
