    The photoelectric work function of a metal is 3.3 eV. The threshold frequency for this metal is approximately

    A) \[3.3\times {{10}^{13}}\,Hz\]     

    B) \[8.0\times {{10}^{14}}\,Hz\]

    C)  \[1.65\times {{10}^{15}}\,Hz\]  

    D)       \[9.9\times {{10}^{15}}\,Hz\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given,\[f=3.3eV=3.3\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}V\] We know that                 \[f=hv\]                  \[v=\frac{f}{h}\]                 \[v=\frac{3.3\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}}=0.8\times {{10}^{15}}Hz\]                 \[v=8.0\times {{10}^{14}}Hz\]
