In a photoelectric effect experiment, the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons is measured for various wavelengths of the incident light. Figure shows a graph of this maximum kinetic energy \[{{K}_{max}}\] as a function of the wavelength \[\lambda \] of the light falling on the surface of the metal. Which of the following statement is/are correct?

[a] Threshold frequency for the metal is \[1.2\,\,\times \,\,{{10}^{15}}Hz\]

[b] Work function of the metal is \[4.968\text{ }eV\]

[c] Maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons corresponding to light of wavelength 100 nm is nearly \[7.4\text{ }eV\]

[d] Photoelectric effect takes place with red light

A) a, b

B) a, b, c

C) a, b, c, d

D) a, c, d

Correct Answer: B

Solution :

\[\frac{hc}{{{\lambda }_{0}}}\] \[\frac{hc}{\lambda }\,\,=\,\,\frac{hc}{{{\lambda }_{0}}}\,\,+\,\,K.{{E}_{\max }}\]
