Question

According to Einstein, when a photonoflight offrequencyu or wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photosensitive metal surface of work function $\phi_0$, where $\phi_0<\text{h}\upsilon$ (here, h is Planck's constant), then the emission of photoelectrons takes place. The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is given by $\text{K}_\text{max}=\text{h}\upsilon-\phi_0$. If the frequency of the incident light is $\upsilon_0$ called thresold frequency, the photoelectrons are emitted from metal without any kinetic energy. So $\text{h}\upsilon_0=\phi_0$.

  1. A metal of work function 3.3eV is illuminated by light of wavelength 300nm. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted is (taking h = 6.6 × 10-34 Js).
  1. 0.413eV
  2. 0.825eV
  3. 1.65eV
  4. 1.32eV
  1. The variation of maximum kinetic energy (Kmax) of the variation of maximum kinetic energy ($\upsilon$) of the incident radiations can be represented by:

  1. The variation of photoelectric current (i) with the intensity of the incident radiation (I) can be represented by:

  1. The graph between the stopping potential (V0) and $\Big(\frac{1}{\lambda}\Big)$ is shown in the figure. $\phi_1,\phi_2,\phi_3$ are work function. Which of the following options is correct?

  1. $\phi_1:\phi_2:\phi_3=1:2:3$

  2. $\phi_1:\phi_2:\phi_3=4:2:1$

  3. $\phi_1:\phi_2:\phi_3=1:2:4$

  4. Ultraviolet tight can be used to emit photoelectrons from metal 2 and metal 3 only.
  1. Which of the following figures represent the variation of particle momentum and the associated de-Broglie wavelength?

Answer

  1. (b) 0.825eV

Explanation:

$\text{K}_\text{max}=\text{h}\upsilon-\phi_0=\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda}-\phi_0$

$=\frac{(6.6\times10^{-34})\times(3\times10^8)}{(300\times10^{-9})\times(1.6\times10^{-19})}-3.3$

$=4.125\times3.3=0.825\text{eV} $

  1.  

Explanation:

$\text{K}_\text{max}=\text{h}\upsilon-\phi_0$, when $\upsilon=\upsilon_0,\text{K}_\text{max}=0$

$\therefore0=\text{h}\upsilon_0$ or $\phi_0=\text{h}\upsilon_0$

If $\upsilon<\upsilon_0$, then Kmax is negative, i.e., no photoelectric emission takes place. Thus, graph (c) is possible.

  1.  

Explanation:

Photoelectric current (i) is proportional to the intensity of the emission light. Thus, graph (a) is possible.

  1. (c) $\phi_1:\phi_2:\phi_3=1:2:4$

Explanation:

From Einstein's photoelectric equation,

$\text{K}_\text{max}=\text{eV}_0=\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda}-\phi$

or $\text{V}_0=\frac{\text{hc}}{\text{e}}\cdot\frac{1}{\lambda}-\frac{\phi}{\text{e}}$

Graph of V0 versus $\frac{1}{\lambda}$ s a straight line

Slope of straight line, $\tan\theta=\frac{\text{hc}}{\text{e}}$

At V0 = 0, we have

$\phi_1:\phi_2:\phi_3=\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda_{01}}:\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda_{02}}:\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda_{03}}$

$0.001\text{hc}:0.002\text{hc}:0.004\text{hc}$

$\therefore1:2:4$

  1.  

Explanation:

de-Broglie wavelength

$\lambda=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{P}}\text{i.e.,}\lambda\propto\frac{1}{\text{P}}$

So the graph between $\lambda$ and p is of the type shown is option (d).

A solenoid 60 cm long and of radius 4.0 cm has 3 layers of windings of 300 turns each. A 2.0 cm long wire of mass 2.5 g lies inside the solenoid (near its centre) normal to its axis; both the wire and the axis of the solenoid are in the horizontal plane. The wire is connected through two leads parallel to the axis of the solenoid to an external battery which supplies a current of 6.0 A in the wire. What value of current (with appropriate sense of circulation) in the windings of the solenoid can support the weight of the wire? g = 9.8 m s–2.

To study photoelectric effect, an emitting electrode C of a photosensitive material is kept at negative potential and collecting electrode A is kept at positive potential in an evacuated tube. When light of sufficiently high frequency falls on emitting electrode, photoelectrons are emitted which travel directly to collecting electrode and hence an electric current called photoelectric current starts flowing in the circuit, which is directly proportional to the number of photoelectrons emitted by emitting electrode C.

While demonstrating the existence of electromagnetic waves, Hertz found that high voltage sparks passed across the metal electrodes of the detector loop more easily when the cathode was illuminated by ultraviolet light from an arc lamp. The ultraviolet light falling on the metal surface caused the emission of negatively charged particles, which are now known to be electrons, into the surrounding space and hence enhanced the high voltage sparks.
