Answer:

The threshold frequency of metal which is needed to emit the photoelectron is greater than the given frequency of radiation i.e. 10¹⁶Hz.

Explanation:

  • A certain frequency of radiation strikes on the surface of metal, can produce photoelectric effect through emission of electron from it.
  • Threshold frequency: The minimum amount of frequency of light that is sufficient to make happen the photoelectric effect.

Therefore the given frequency 10¹⁶Hz less than minimum frequency require to emit electron. That's why emission of photoelectrons does not take place.
