In an experiment on photoelectric emission from a metallic surface,the wavelength of incident light is $2 \times 10^{-7} \,m$ and the stopping potential is $2.5 \,V$. The threshold frequency of the metal (in $Hz$) is approximately (charge of electron $e=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \,C$,Planck's constant $h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \,J-s$):

  • A
    $12 \times 10^{15}$
  • B
    $9 \times 10^{15}$
  • C
    $9 \times 10^{14}$
  • D
    $12 \times 10^{13}$
