Question
When a certain metal was irradiated with a light of frequency
3.2 × 1016 Hz, the photo-electrons had twice the kinetic energy as emitted when the same metal was irradiated with light of frequency 2.0 × 1016 Hz. Calculate the threshold frequency (v0) of the metal.
Solution
Correct option is
Kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted = hv – hv0 = h(v – v0)
.
