Threshold frequency, ν0 is the minimum frequency which a photon must possess to eject an electron from a metal. It is different for different metals. When a photon of frequency 1.0*1015 s–1 was allowed to hit a metal surface, an electron having 1.988 * 10–19 J of kinetic energy was emitted. Calculate the threshold frequency of this metal. Show that an electron will not be emitted if a photon with a wavelength equal to 600 nm hits the metal surface.

ANS- For the emission of electrons from metal the frequency of the striking light should be higher than that of its threshold frequency. We have

h ν = hν 0 + K.E

ν 0 = ν - K.E/h ……. (1)

Given

 ν = 1015 s -1, K.E = 1.988 X 10-19J

Thus (1)
