Particle Theory of Light
The particle theory of light was the proposal made by Newton in 1704 in his treatise Opticks. This is the most basic light theory, in which light is thought to be made up of microscopic particles known as "corpuscles" and that's why this particle theory …
Stopping Potential
In an experiment conducted by Heinrich Hertz, an apparatus was made where the incident light was made to fall on the metallic plate, it was discovered that metals emit electrons. The surface electrons are bound to metals with a minimum amount of energy a…
Quantization of Charges
An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle either attached to an an atom or sticks to the nucleus of the atom. Electrons exert the negative charge that tries to balance the positive charge of the nucleus.

Answer to Problem 3STP

Option D

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

When a beam of light falls on the metal surface, the electrons can be ejected from its surface. This is known as Photoelectric effect.

A metal contains freely bound electrons. Work function is the minimum energy of the radiation which is required to remove these most weakly bound electrons from the surface of a metal. Work function of a metal is also referred as threshold energy. The frequency of the radiation having energy equal to threshold energy is call threshold frequency. This is the minimum frequency below which the radiation would not be able to eject the electrons from metal.

Conclusion:

Hence, option D is correct.
