Electrons are emitted with zero velocity from a metal surface when it is exposed to radiation of wavelength 6800 Å. Calculate threshold frequency (ν0 ) and work function (W0 ) of the metal.

##### Solution :-

$$(\lambda _{0}= 6800 Å$$

$$6800\times 10^{-10}\, m)$$

Threshold frequency of the metal

$$\nu _{0} =\dfrac{c}{\lambda _{0}}$$

$$=\dfrac{3\times 10^{8}ms^{-1}}{6.8\times 10^{-7}m}$$

$$=4.41\times 10^{14}\, s^{-1}$$

Therefore, threshold frequency $$\nu _{0}$$ of the metal

$$=h\nu _{0}\\ \\$$

$$=(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)(4.41\times 10^{14}s^{-1})\\ \\$$

$$=2.922\times 10^{-19}\, J$$
