    Threshold frequency for a metal is 1015 Hz. If light of wavelength \[4000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] falls on its surface, then which of the following statement is correct?

    A)  Photo electrons come out with zero speed.

    B)  Photo electrons come out with \[{{10}^{3}}\]m/s speed.

    C)  Photo electrons come out with \[{{10}^{5}}\]m/s speed.

    D)  No photo electric emission takes place.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Wavelength of light, \[\lambda =4000\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] Frequency of light\[v=\frac{c}{\lambda }=\frac{3\times {{10}^{8}}}{4000\times {{10}^{-10}}}=0.75\times {{10}^{15}}Hz\] Which is less than the given threshold frequency. Hence, no photoelectric emission takes place.
