The work function of a metal is 2.56 x 10^-19J. Calculate the frequency of a photon whose energy is required to eject from the metal an electron with kinetic energy of 3.0ev. [1 eV = 1.6 x 10^-19J, h = 6.6 x 10^-34Js]

5.56 x 10¹⁹Hz

1.66 x 10¹⁹Hz

1.12 x 10¹⁵Hz

8.42 x 10¹⁴Hz

Correct answer is C

F = \(\frac{K.E + Wo}{h}\)

= \(\frac{3.0 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} + 2.56 \times 106{-19}}{6.6 \times 106{-34}}\)

- 1.12 x 10^-15HZ
