Photoelectric EffectHard

Question

Monochromatic radiation emitted when electron on hydrogen atom jumps from first excited to theground state irradiates a photosensitive material. The stopping potential is measured to be 3.57 V. Thethreshold frequency of the material is

Options

A.2.5 × 1015 Hz
B.4 × 1015 Hz
C.5 × 1015 Hz
D.1.6 × 1015 Hz

Solution

1.6 × 10-19 × 3.75 = 13.6 × 1.6 × 10-19 - 6.6 × 10-34 vTh 
Solving, vTh = 1.6 × 1015 Hz
