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.
$\text{eV}_0=\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda}-\phi$
$\Rightarrow\text{v}_0=\Big(\frac{\text{hv}}{\lambda}-\phi\Big)\frac{1}{\text{e}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{ke}}{2\text{d}}=\Big(\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda}-\phi\Big)\frac{1}{\text{e}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{ke}}{\text{2d}}=\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda}-\phi$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda}=\frac{\text{ke}^2}{2\text{d}}+\phi=\frac{\text{ke}^2+2\text{d}\phi}{2\text{d}}$
$\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{\text{hc 2d}}{\text{ke}^2+2\text{d}\phi}=\frac{2\text{hcd}}{\frac{1}{4\pi\omega_0\text{e}^2}2\text{d}\phi}=\frac{8\pi\omega_0\text{hcd}}{\text{e}^2+8\pi\omega_0\text{d}\phi}$

India has had a long and unbroken tradition of great scholarship-in mathematics, astronomy, linguistics, logic and ethics. Yet, in parallel with this, several superstitious and obscurantistic attitudes and practices flourished in our society and unfortunately continue even today-among many educated people too. How will you use your knowledge of science to develop strategies to counter these attitudes?
Two pulleys of masses $12kg$ and $8kg$ are connected by a fine string hanging over a fixed pulley as shown. Over the $8kg$ pulley is hung a fine string with masses $4kg$ and M. Over the $12kg$ pulley is hung another fine string with masses $3kg$ and $6kg$. Calculate M so that the string over the fixed pulley remains stationary.
