The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these procedures: ### Step 1: Identify the given data - Threshold frequency (ν₀) = \(10^{15}\) Hz - Wavelength (λ) = 4000 Å (which is \(4000 \times 10^{-10}\) m) ### Step 2: Calculate the threshold energy (E₀) The threshold energy can be calculated using the formula: \[ E_0 = h \cdot \nu_0 \] Where: - \( h \) (Planck's constant) = \(6.63 \times 10^{-34}\) J·s - \( \nu_0 \) = \(10^{15}\) Hz Substituting the values: \[ E_0 = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 10^{15} \] \[ E_0 = 6.63 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the incident energy (E) The energy of the incident light can be calculated using the formula: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] Where: - \( c \) (speed of light) = \(3 \times 10^8\) m/s - \( \lambda \) = \(4000 \times 10^{-10}\) m Substituting the values: \[ E = \frac{(6.63 \times 10^{-34}) \times (3 \times 10^8)}{4000 \times 10^{-10}} \] Calculating: \[ E = \frac{1.989 \times 10^{-25}}{4 \times 10^{-7}} \] \[ E = 4.9725 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J} \] ### Step 4: Compare the energies - Threshold energy (E₀) = \(6.63 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}\) - Incident energy (E) = \(4.9725 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}\) ### Step 5: Conclusion Since the threshold energy (E₀) is greater than the incident energy (E), the photoelectric effect will not occur. ### Final Answer The photoelectric effect does not take place. ---
