The de Broglie wavelength of the most energetic photoelectrons emitted from a photosensitive metal of work function $\phi$,when light of frequency $\nu$ is incident on it,is $\lambda$. Then $\nu =$ (where $h$ is Planck's constant and $m$ is the mass of the electron).

If the work function of a metal is $\phi$ and the frequency of the incident light is $v$,there is no emission of photoelectrons for:
