JEE Main & Advanced Physics Photo Electric Effect, X- Rays & Matter Waves Question Bank Photon and Photoelectric Effect

  • question_answer
    If the work function of a metal is \['\varphi '\] and the frequency of the incident light is \['\nu '\], there is no emission of photoelectron if

    A)            \[\nu <\frac{\varphi }{h}\]     

    B)            \[\nu =\frac{\varphi }{h}\]

    C)            \[\nu >\frac{\varphi }{h}\]     

    D)            \[\nu >\ =\ <\frac{\varphi }{h}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               For no emission of photoelectron, energy of incident light < Work function \[\Rightarrow \,\,h\nu <\varphi \,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\nu <\frac{\varphi }{h}\]
