Light of frequency 7.21xx10^(14)Hz is incident on a metal surface. Electrons with a maximum speed of 6.0xx10^(5)m//s are ejected from the surface. What is the threshold frequency for photoemission of electrons ?

Answer»

Solution :Here `v=7.21xx10^(14)Hz and v_(max)=6.0xx10^(5)m//s`
Using the relation`H(v-v_(0))=(1)/(2)mv_(max)^(2),` we have
`v-v_(0)=(mv_(max)^(2))/(2h)=(9.11xx10^(-31)xx(6.0xx10^(5))^(2))/(2xx6.63xx10^(-34))=2.48xx10^(14)`
`v_(0)=v-2.48xx10^(14)=7.21xx10^(14)-2.48xx10^(14)=4.73xx10^(14)Hz`.
