Electrons ejected from the surface of a metal, when light of certain frequency is incident on it, are stopped fully by a retarding potential of 3 volts. Photoelectric effect in this metallic surface begins at a frequency 6 10¹⁴ ~s ⁻¹ . The frequency of the incident light in s ⁻¹ is : [Planck's constant =6.4 10⁻³⁴ Js , charge on the electron .=1.6 10⁻¹⁹ C ]
Options
- A7.5 10¹³
- B13.5 10¹³
- C13.5 10¹⁴
- D7.5 10¹⁵
Correct answer
C. 13.5 10¹⁴
Step-by-step solution
Einstein's photoelectric equation is given by aligned h v & =h v₀+ =h v₀+e V v & =v₀+ e V₀ h = (6 10¹⁴ )+ (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ )(3) (6.4 10⁻³⁴ ) & =13.5 10¹⁴ s⁻¹ aligned
