Question
A horizontal cesium plate ($\phi$ = l.9 eV) is moved vertically downward at a constant speed u in a room full of radiation of wavelength 250 run and above. What should be the minimum value of u so that the vertically upward component of velocity is nonpositive for each photoelectron?

Answer

Work function $=\phi,$ distance = dThe particle will move in a circle
When the stopping potential is equal to the potential due to the singly charged ion at that point.
$\text{eV}_0=\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda}-\phi$
$\Rightarrow\text{v}_0=\Big(\frac{\text{hv}}{\lambda}-\phi\Big)\frac{1}{\text{e}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{ke}}{2\text{d}}=\Big(\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda}-\phi\Big)\frac{1}{\text{e}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{ke}}{\text{2d}}=\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda}-\phi$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda}=\frac{\text{ke}^2}{2\text{d}}+\phi=\frac{\text{ke}^2+2\text{d}\phi}{2\text{d}}$
$\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{\text{hc 2d}}{\text{ke}^2+2\text{d}\phi}=\frac{2\text{hcd}}{\frac{1}{4\pi\omega_0\text{e}^2}2\text{d}\phi}=\frac{8\pi\omega_0\text{hcd}}{\text{e}^2+8\pi\omega_0\text{d}\phi}$

A long straight horizontal cable carries a current of $2.5 A$ in the direction $10^\circ$ south of west to $10^\circ$ north of east. The magnetic meridian of the place happens to be $10^\circ$ west of the geographic meridian. The earth’s magnetic field at the location is $0.33 G,$  and the angle of dip is zero. Locate the line of neutral points $($ignore the thickness of the cable$). ($At neutral points, magnetic field due to a current $-$ carrying cable is equal and opposite to the horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field.$)$
