Threshold frequency ν₀ for photoemission:
Ahν₀ = φ (energy just overcomes work function, KE = 0)
Bν₀ = 0
CNo threshold
Dν₀ = c
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. hν₀ = φ (energy just overcomes work function, KE = 0)
ν₀ = φ/h. Below ν₀: no emission regardless of intensity. At ν₀: emission starts with zero KE. Above ν₀: KE = h(ν - ν₀).
