Answer:

Correct Answer: 35. (d)

Solution:

  1. (d) For occurence of photoelectric effect, the incident light should have frequency more than a certain minimum which is called the threshold frequency (v0).

We have, 12mv2=hvhv0

For photoelectric effect emission n>n0 where n is the frequency of the incident light.
