MCQ
A light source of wavelength $\lambda$ illuminates a metal surface and electrons are ejected with maximum kinetic energy of 2 eV . If the same surface is illuminated by a light source of wavelength $\frac{\lambda}{2}$, then the maximum kinetic energy of ejected electrons will be (The work function of metal is 1 eV )
  • A
    2 eV
  • B
    6 eV
  • 5 eV
  • D
    3 eV

Answer

Correct option: C.
5 eV
(C) 5 eV
Sol. $\frac{ hc }{\lambda}=\phi+ eV \Rightarrow \frac{ hc }{\lambda}=1+2=3 eV$ ......(1)
$\frac{ hc }{\lambda / 2}=6=1+ k _{\max } \quad \therefore k _{\max }=5 eV$

A particle starts from origin at $t=0$ with a velocity $5 \hat{i} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and moves in $x-y$ plane under action of a force which produces a constant acceleration of $(3 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}) \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^2$. If the $x$-coordinate of the particle at that instant is $84 \mathrm{~m}$, then the speed of the particle at this time is $\sqrt{\alpha} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. The value of $\alpha$ is___________.
