If the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons ejected from a metal surface when it is irradiated with a radiation of frequency \(4 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\) is \(6.63 \times 10^{-20} \mathrm{~J}\), then the threshold frequency of the metal is

  1. A \(2 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(1 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(3 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(1 \times 10^{-14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The threshold energy for production of a particle is the minimum K.E., a pair of travelling particles must have when they collide.…
