Question 9
Part I:      Candidates were required to answer any five questions from this part.

Explain threshold frequency with respect to photoemission.

   

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Observation

This question was well tackled by many candidates.  However, few failed to recognize that minimum frequency is a salient point in their statement.

The expected answer is:

When radiation of appropriate frequency falls on a metal surface, electrons are ejected from the surface.  The minimum frequency of a radiation that must be incident on the metal surface to liberate/set free electrons from the surface is the threshold frequency.
