Solution

The correct option is B $0.8 \times 10^{15} H z$
Work function, $W_{0} = h ν_{0} = 3.3 e V = 3.3 \times 1.6 \times 10^{- 19} J$
Therefore, the threshold frequency, $ν_{0} = \frac{W_{0}}{h} = \frac{3.3 \times 1.6 \times 10^{- 19}}{6.6 \times 10^{- 34}} = 0.8 \times 10^{15} H z$
Hence, the correct choice is (b).

A metal whose work function is 3.3 eV is illuminated by light of wavelength 3×10−7 m. What is the threshold frequency for photoelectric emission? Given Planck's constant =6.6×10−34 Js.

The correct option is B 0.8×1015 HzWork function, W0=hν0=3.3eV=3.3×1.6×10−19 J Therefore, the threshold frequency, ν0=W0h=3.3×1.6×10−196.6×10−34=0.8×1015Hz Hence, the correct choice is (b).
