For a photosensitive surface, work function is $3.3 × 10^{-19} J$. Taking Planck's constant to be $6.6 × 10^{-34} Js$, the threshold frequency would be |
$6 × 10^{13} Hz$ $2 × 10^{12} Hz$ $5 × 10^{14} Hz$ $1.8 × 10^{12} Hz$ |
$5 × 10^{14} Hz$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $5 × 10^{14} Hz$ Given: Work function, $\phi = 3.3 \times 10^{-19}\ \text{J}$ Planck's constant, $h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34}\ \text{Js}$ Threshold frequency is given by: $f_{\text{th}} = \frac{\phi}{h}$ Substitute values: $f_{\text{th}} = \frac{3.3 \times 10^{-19}}{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}$ $f_{\text{th}} = 0.5 \times 10^{15}\ \text{Hz} = 5 \times 10^{14}\ \text{Hz}$ ∴ Threshold frequency = $5 \times 10^{14}\ \text{Hz}$ |
