Q.
If the binding energy of electrons in a metal is 250kJ/mol, what should be the threshold frequency of the striking photons in order to free an electron from the metal surface?
Binding energy of electron =250KJ/mol
Binding energy of one electron =6.023×1023250×103⌋ ⇒4.15×10−19J
Binding energy =hv0 v0 is threshold frequency 4.15×10−19=6.625×10−34×v0v0=6×1014sec−1
