Dual Nature Of Matter Question 3

Question 3 - 2024 (27 Jan Shift 2)

The threshold frequency of a metal with work function $6.63 eV$ is :

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

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

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

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

Show Answer

Answer: (4)

Solution:

$\phi _0=h v _0$

$6.63 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}=6.63 \times 10^{-34} v _0$

$v _0=\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{10^{-34}}$

$v _0=1.6 \times 10^{15} Hz$
