For a photosensitive surface, the work function is 3.3 × 10^-19 J. Calculate the threshold frequency.(a) 15 × 10^14 Hz(b) 25 × 10^14 Hz(c) 5 × 10^14 Hz(d) 55 × 10^14 HzThis question was posed to me during an online exam.My doubt stems from Einstein’s Photoelectric Equation : Energy Quantum of Radiation topic in chapter Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Right ANSWER is (c) 5 × 10^14 Hz

The explanation is: Threshold frequency is given as:

v0 = \(\FRAC {W_0}{H}\)

v0 = \(\frac {W_0}{h}\)

v0 = \(\frac {(3.3 \times 10^{-19})}{(6.6 \times 10^{-34})}\)

v0 = 5 × 10^14 Hz.
