Electrons are emitted with zero velocity | Class 11 Chemistry Chapter Structure of Atom, Structure of Atom NCERT Solutions

Question:

Electrons are emitted with zero velocity from a metal surface when it is exposed to radiation of wavelength 6800 Å. Calculate threshold frequency (v₀) and work function (W₀) of the metal.

Answer:

Given λ = 6800 amgstrom or 6800x 10^-10 m = 6.8 x 10^-7m

C = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Also λ = c/v or v = c/ λ Therefore putting the values in the equation, we get

=3 x 10⁸ / 6.8 x 10^-7m = 4.41 x 1014 s^-1

Hence, work function (W₀) of the metal = hν₀

= (6.626 × 10^–34 Js) (4.41 × 10¹⁴ s^–1)

= 2.922 × 10^–19 J
