उत्तर
Given:
`phi_0=2.3 eV=2.3*1.6*10^-19 J=3.68*10^-19J`
λ=6800 Å=6800*10-10m, c=3*108 m/s, h=6.63*10-34 Js
We know that the incident frequency is given as
`v=c/lambda`
∴`v=(3*10^8)/(6800*10^-10)=4.41*10^14Hz`
Now, if the incident frequency is greater than the threshold frequency, then photoelectrons will be emitted from the metal surface. The threshold frequency is given from work function as
`v_0=phi_0/h`
`v_0=(3.68*10^-19)/(6.63*10^-34)=5.55*10^14Hz`
Since, photoelectrons `v<v_0` will not be emitted.
