certain minimum

(c) intensity (d) frequency

(ii) The threshold frequency for a photosensitive metal is 3.3 × 1014 Hz. If light

(v) Electrons used in an electron microscope are accelerated by a voltage of 25


kV. If the voltage is increased to 100 kV then the de-Broglie wavelength
associated with the electrons would
(a) increase by 2 times (b) decrease by 2 times
(c) decrease by 4 times (d) increase by 4 times

(vi) If an electron and a photon propagate in the form of waves having same
wavelength, it implies that they have same:
