The threshold frequency of a metal with work function 6 . 63 eV is :
Options
- A16 × 10 15 Hz
- B16 × 10 12 Hz
- C1 . 6 × 10 12 Hz
- D1 . 6 × 10 15 Hz
Correct answer
D. 1 . 6 × 10 15 Hz
Step-by-step solution
The formula to calculate the work function of the metal is given by ϕ 0 = h v 0 . . . 1 From equation (1), it follows that 6 . 63 × 1 . 6 × 10 - 19 = 6 . 63 × 10 - 34 v 0 ⇒ v 0 = 1 . 6 × 10 - 19 10 - 34 ⇒ v 0 = 1 . 6 × 10 15 Hz
