Threshold frequency for a metal is 15 10¹⁴ ~Hz . The light of wavelength 6000 falls on the metal surface. Then photoelectrons [velocity of light in air, c=3 10^8 ~m / s ]
Options
- Acome out with zero velocity.
- Bcome out with velocity 3 10^6 ~m / sa
- Cwill not be emitted
- Dare emitted with velocity c
Correct answer
C. will not be emitted
Step-by-step solution
Frequency of light of wavelength =6000 ~A ^0 is f= c = 3 10^8 6000 10⁻¹⁰ ~Hz =5 10¹⁴ ~Hz which is less than the given threshold frequency. Hence, no photoelectric emission takes place.
