The work function of a photoelectric surface is 3.3 eV. The value of the threshold frequency for the surface is: |
$8 \times 10^{14} Hz$ $5 \times 10^{16} Hz$ $4 \times 10^{11} Hz$ $8 \times 10^{10} Hz$ |
$8 \times 10^{14} Hz$ |
The correct answer is Option (1) → $8 \times 10^{14} Hz$ Given, ϕ, Work function = 3.3 eV h, Planck's constant = $4.13×10^{-15}eV$ Now, $f_0$, minimum frequency of incident light required to eject photoelectrons $ϕ=h.f_0$ $f_0=\frac{ϕ}{h}=\frac{3.3}{4.1357×10^{-15}}$ $≈8 \times 10^{14} Hz$ |
