Light of frequency $v$ falls on a metal whose work function is $hv_0$. Choose the most appropriate condition from the following under which the photoelectric effect will take place: |
$v>v_0$ $v<v_0$ $v>200v_0$ $v<0.5v_0$ |
$v>v_0$ |
The correct answer is Option (1) → $v>v_0$ For the photoelectric effect to occur, the energy of the incident light must be greater than or equal to the work function. $hv>hv_0$ [$v_0$ = Threshold frequency] $⇒v>v_0$ |
