JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 11. Dual nature of radiation and matter

The threshold frequency of a metal with work function \(6.63\  \mathrm{eV}\) is:

  1. A  \(16 \times 10^{1 \mathrm{~s}} \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  2. B  \(16 \times 10^{12} \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  3. C  \(1.6 \times 10^{12} \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  4. D  \(1.6 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~Hz}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D)  \(1.6 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~Hz}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \phi_0=h v_0 \) \( 6.63 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}=6.63 \times 10^{-34} v_0 \) \( v_0=\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{10^{-34}} \) \( v_0=1.6 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~Hz}\)
