The work function of a metal is hv0. Light of frequency v falls on this metal. The photoelectric effect will take place only if

  1. A v>v0
  2. B v>2v0
  3. C v<v0
  4. D v<v02
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) v>v0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, hν-W=Kmax, where h=Plank's constant, ν=frequency of radiation, W=work function and Kmax=maximum kinetic energy of photoelectron. ∵Kmax≥0, as kinetic energy can't be negative.…
