Threshold frequency for a metal is 15 10¹⁴ ~Hz . The light of wavelength 6000 Å falls on the metal surface. Which one of the following statements is correct? [velocity of light, . c =3 10⁸ ~m / s ]
Options
- Aphotoelectrons are emitted with velocity c.
- Bphotoelectrons come out with velocity 3 10⁶ ~m / s
- Cphotoelectrons come out with zero velocity.
- Dphotoelectrons will not be emitted.
Correct answer
D. photoelectrons will not be emitted.
Step-by-step solution
aligned v₀ &=15 10¹⁴ ~Hz ₀= C v &= 3 10⁸ 15 10¹⁴ &=2 10⁻⁷ ~m &=2000 Å &=6000 Å aligned Since > ₀ , photo electrons will not be emitted
