The threshold frequency of a metal with work function 6 . 63 eV is :

The threshold frequency of a metal with work function 6.63 eV is :
  1. 16×1015 Hz
  2. 16×1012 Hz
  3. 1.6×1012 Hz
  4. 1.6×1015 Hz

Solution

The formula to calculate the work function of the metal is given by

ϕ0=hv0   ...1

From equation (1), it follows that

6.63×1.6×10-19=6.63×10-34v0v0=1.6×10-1910-34v0=1.6×1015 Hz
