When a certain metal was irradiated with light of frequency `3.2 xx 10^(16)s^(-1)` the photoelectrons emitted had twice the KE as did photoelectrons emitted when the same metal was irradiated with light of frequency`2.0 xx 10^(16)s^(-1)` . Calculate the thereshold frequency of the metal.

A

`1.6xx10^(18)Hz`

B

`0.8xx10^(15)Hz`

C

`8xx10^(15)Hz`

D

`8xx10^(16)Hz`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

When a certain metal was ……….
`hv = hv_(0)+KE`
`v-v_(0)=KE//h`
`v_(2)-v_(0)=2v_(1)-v_(2)`
`= 4xx10^(16) - 3.2xx10^(18)`
`= 0.8xx10^(16) = 8xx10^(15)Hz`
