The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the photon of radiation with energy \(3.3 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J}\) will exhibit the photoelectric effect when interacting with potassium metal, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Work Function The work function \(W\) of a material can be calculated using the formula: \[ W = h \nu_0 \] where: - \(h\) is Planck's constant (\(6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js}\)) - \(\nu_0\) is the threshold frequency (\(5.3 \times 10^{14} \, \text{s}^{-1}\)) Substituting the values: \[ W = (6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js}) \times (5.3 \times 10^{14} \, \text{s}^{-1}) \] ### Step 2: Perform the Calculation Calculating the work function: \[ W = 6.626 \times 5.3 \times 10^{-34 + 14} = 35.1 \times 10^{-20} \, \text{J} = 3.51 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \] ### Step 3: Compare Energy of the Photon with Work Function Now, we compare the energy of the photon \(E\) with the work function \(W\): - Energy of the photon \(E = 3.3 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J}\) - Work function \(W = 3.51 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J}\) ### Step 4: Determine if Photoelectric Effect Occurs To exhibit the photoelectric effect, the energy of the photon must be greater than or equal to the work function: \[ E < W \quad \text{(since } 3.3 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} < 3.51 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J}\text{)} \] Since the energy of the photon is less than the work function, the photoelectric effect will not occur. ### Conclusion The photon of radiation with energy \(3.3 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J}\) will **not** exhibit the photoelectric effect on potassium metal. ---
