The work function of a photoelectric met...

The work function of a photoelectric metal is 3.31 eV. If `h=6.62xx10^(-34)Js`, then its threshold frequency will be

A

`8xx10^(14)` Hz

B

`8xx10^(10)`Hz

C

`5xx10^(15)` Hz

D

`3xx10^(14)` Hz

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`v_(0)=(W_(0))/(h)=(3.31xx1.6xx10^(-19))/(6.62xx10^(-34))`
`v_(0)=0.8xx10^(15)=8xx10^(14)`Hz
