# A metal target with a work function of \(3.315 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}\) is illuminated by monochromatic light with a frequency of \(6.0 \times 10^{14} \text{ Hz}\). What is the minimum threshold frequency required to eject photoelectrons from this metal target?

A metal target with a work function of \(3.315 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}\) is illuminated by monochromatic light with a frequency of \(6.0 \times 10^{14} \text{ Hz}\). What is the minimum threshold frequency required to eject photoelectrons from this metal target?

- **A.** \(5.0 \times 10^{14} \text{ Hz}\)
- **B.** \(6.0 \times 10^{14} \text{ Hz}\)
- **C.** \(1.1 \times 10^{15} \text{ Hz}\)
- **D.** \(2.0 \times 10^{15} \text{ Hz}\)
