Assertion(A): Threshold frequency is a characteristic for a metal
Reason(R): Threshold frequency is a maximum frequency required for the ejection of electron from the metal surface.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Assertion is true but Reason is false. Threshold frequency is a minimum frequency required for the emission of electrons from the metal surface.
