Question 18

Ultraviolet radiation of frequency 2.4×1015 Hz2.4 \times 10^{15}\text{ Hz}2.4×1015 Hz is incident on a clean magnesium surface inside a vacuum cell. The work function of magnesium is 5.9×10−19 J5.9 \times 10^{-19}\text{ J}5.9×10−19 J.

Which statement is correct?

(Planck's constant h=6.63×10−34 J sh = 6.63 \times 10^{-34}\text{ J s}h=6.63×10−34 J s)

No photoelectrons are emitted from the surface.

Photoelectrons are emitted with a maximum kinetic energy of 5.9×10−19 J5.9 \times 10^{-19}\text{ J}5.9×10−19 J.

Photoelectrons are emitted with a maximum kinetic energy of 1.0×10−18 J1.0 \times 10^{-18}\text{ J}1.0×10−18 J.

Photoelectrons are emitted with a maximum kinetic energy of 1.6×10−18 J1.6 \times 10^{-18}\text{ J}1.6×10−18 J.
