NEET2012PhysicsDual Nature of MatterActual
A photon is incident having frequency 1 10¹⁴ sec ⁻¹ . Threshold frequency of metal is 5 10¹³ sec ⁻¹ . Find the kinetic energy of the ejected electron.
Options
- A3.3 10⁻²¹ ~J
- B6.6 10⁻²¹ ~J
- C3.3 10⁻²⁰ ~J
- D6.6 10⁻²⁰ ~J
Correct answer
C. 3.3 10⁻²⁰ ~J
Step-by-step solution
The relation between kinetic energy, threshold frequency and frequency of photon is given as 1 2 m v^2= (h v-h v₀ )=h (1 10¹⁴-5 10¹³ )k=h (5 10¹³ )=6.67 10⁻³⁴ 5 10¹³=3.3 10⁻²⁰ ~J
