Question

A silver ball of radius 4.8cm is suspended by a thread in a vacuum chamber. Ultraviolet light of wavelength 200 run is incident on the ball for some time during which a total light energy of $1.0 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~J}$ falls on the surface. Assuming that on the average one photon out of every ten thousand is able to eject a photoelectron, find the electric potential et the surface of the bell assuming zero potential at infinity. What is the potential at the centre of the bell?

Answer

$\lambda=200\text{nm}=2\times10^{-7}\text{m}$E of one photon $=\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda}$
$=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10\times^{8}}{2\times10^{-7}}=9.945\times10^{-19}$
No. of photons
$=\frac{1\times10^{-7}}{9.945\times10^{-19}}=1\times10^{11}\text{no.s}$
Hence, No.of photo electrons
$=\frac{1\times10^{11}}{10^{4}}=1\times10^{7}$
Net amount of positive charge ‘q’ developed due to the outgoing electrons
$=1 \times 10^7 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}=1.6 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{C}$.
Now potential developed at the centre as well as at the surface due to these charger
$=\frac{\text{kq}}{\text{r}}=\frac{9\times10\times1.6\times10^{-12}}{4.8\times10^{-2}}=3\times10^{-1}\text{v}=0.3\text{v.}$

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5. The impact and deformation during collision may generate heat and sound. Part of the initial kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy. A useful way to visualize the deformation during collision is in terms of a ‘compressed spring’. If the ‘spring’ connecting the two masses regains its original shape without loss in energy, then the initial kinetic energy is equal to the final kinetic energy but the kinetic energy during the collision time Δt is not constant. Such a collision is called an elastic collision. On the other hand the deformation may not be relieved and the two bodies could move together after the collision. A collision in which the two particles move together after the collision is called a completely inelastic collision. The intermediate case where the deformation is partly relieved and some of the initial kinetic energy is lost is more common and is appropriately called an inelastic collision. If the initial velocities and final velocities of both the bodies are along the same straight line, then it is called a one-dimensional collision, or head-on collision. When two equal masses undergo a glancing elastic collision with one of them at rest, after the collision, they will move at right angles to each other.

After collision when two particles moves together then collision is:

Elastic collision
Completely inelastic collision
Both a and b
None of these

In elastic collision, loss in kinetic energy is:

Zero
Positive
Negative
None of these

What happens if a pulse or a wave meets a boundary? If the boundary is rigid, pulse travelling along a stretched string and being reflected by the boundary. Assuming there is no absorption of energy by the boundary, the reflected wave has the same shape as the incident pulse i.e. crest is reflected as crest and trough as trough but it suffers a phase change of π or $180^0$ on reflection. This is because the boundary is rigid and the disturbance must have zero displacement at all times at the boundary. By the principle of superposition, this is possible only if the reflected and incident waves differ by a phase of π, so that the resultant displacement is zero. This reasoning is based on boundary condition on a rigid wall. If on the other hand, the boundary point is not rigid but completely free to move (such as in the case of a string tied to a freely moving ring on a rod), the reflected pulse has the same phase and amplitude (assuming no energy dissipation) as the incident pulse. The net maximum displacement at the boundary is then twice the amplitude of each pulse. An example of non- rigid boundary is the open end of an organ pipe. To summaries, a travelling wave or pulse suffers a phase change of π on reflection at a rigid boundary and no phase change on reflection at an open boundary. We considered above reflection at one boundary. But there are familiar situations (a string fixed at either end or an air column in a pipe with either end closed) in which reflection takes place at two or more boundaries. In a string, for example, a wave travelling in one direction will get reflected at one end, which in turn will travel and get reflected from the other end. This will go on until there is a steady wave pattern set up on the string. Such wave patterns are called standing waves or stationary waves.

A travelling wave or pulse suffers a phase change of π on reflection at:

A rigid boundary
Open boundary

A travelling wave or pulse suffers no phase change on reflection at:

A rigid boundary
