NEET 2022 Physics Photoelectric Effect MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12

When two monochromatic lights of frequency, ν and ν/2 are incident on a photoelectric metal, their stopping potential becomes Vₛ/2 and Vₛ respectively. The threshold frequency for this metal is:

A

2ν/3

B

ν/3

C

D

3/2ν

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using the photoelectric equation, the stopping potential is related to the frequency of the incident light. Solving the equations for the given conditions, the threshold frequency is found to be 2ν/3.
