AIIMS 2012 Physics Einstein's Equation MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

A photon is incident having frequency 1 × 10¹⁴ sec⁻¹. Threshold frequency of metal is 5 × 10¹³ sec⁻¹. Find the kinetic energy of the ejected electron.

A

3.3 × 10⁻²¹ J

B

6.6 × 10⁻²¹ J

C

3.3 × 10⁻²⁰ J

D

6.6 × 10⁻²⁰ J

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The relation between kinetic energy, threshold frequency and frequency of photon is given as 1/2 mv^2 = hν - hν0.
