Question
A photo cell is a device which:

Answer

  1. Absorbs light and produces a stream of electrons
Explanation:
Photocell is a device which converts light energy into electrical energy. In photocell concave metallic cathode absorbs photons from incident light waves and emits electron from the metal surface towards anode.
In other words, it absorbs light and produces a stream of electrons.

An unknown hot gas emits radiation of wavelengths 46.0nm, 82.8nm and 103.5nm only. Assume that the atoms have only two excited states and the difference between consecutive energy levels decreases as energy is increased. Taking the energy of the highest energy state to be zero, find the energies of the ground state and the first excited state.

The binding energy of a H-atom, considering an electron moving around a fixed nuclei (proton), is $\text{B}=-\frac{\text{me}^4}{8\text{n}^2\epsilon_0^2\text{h}^2}$. (m = electron mass).
If one decides to work in a frame of reference where the electron is at rest, the proton would be moving arround it. By similar arguments, the binding energy would be,
$\text{B}=-\frac{\text{me}^4}{8\text{n}^2\epsilon_0^2\text{h}^2}$ (M = proton mass)
This last expression is not correct because:
When light is incident on a metal surface the maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons:
