Light is incident on a metallic plate having work function 110 10⁻²⁰ ~J . If the produced photoelectrons have zero kinetic energy then the angular frequency of the incident light is _ _ _ _ rad/s. ( h =6.63 10⁻³⁴ ~J . s ) .
Options
- A1.04 10¹³
- B1.04 10¹⁶
- C1.66 10¹⁶
- D1.66 10¹⁵
Correct answer
B. 1.04 10¹⁶
Step-by-step solution
From Einstein's photoelectric equation, h = W + KE . With zero kinetic energy, h = W . The frequency is = W h = 110 10⁻²⁰ 6.63 10⁻³⁴ = 16.59 10¹⁴ Hz. The angular frequency is = 2 = 2 16.59 10¹⁴ = 104.25 10¹⁴ = 1.04 10¹⁶ rad/s.
