Dual Nature Of Light Question 268

Question: The work function of a photoelectric material is 3.3 eV. The threshold frequency will be equal to [UPSEAT 1999]

Options:

A) $ 8\times 10^{4}Hz $

B) $ 8\times 10^{56}Hz $

C) $ 8\times 10^{10}Hz $

D) $ 8\times 10^{14}Hz $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ {\nu_{0}}=\frac{W_{0}}{h}=\frac{3.3\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}}=8\times 10^{14}Hz $
