Question
Sketch a graph between frequency of incident radiations and stopping potential for a given photosensitive material. What information can be obtained from the value of the intercept on the potential axis? A source of light of frequency greater than the threshold frequency is placed at a distance of 1 m from the cathode of a photo-cell. The stopping potential is found to be V. If the distance of the light source from the cathode is reduced, explain giving reasons, what change will you observe in the.
  1. photoelectric current,
  2. stopping potential.

Answer


Work function or
  1. Photoelectric current increases, due to increase of intensity.
  2. o change, as stopping Potential is independent of intensity.

For a given position of an object, an equiconvex lens forms its real image at a distance of 60cm from the lens. A convex mirror is now kept in between this image position and the convex lens. The final image formed by this combination coincides with the object when the distance between the convex lens and the convex mirror equals 25cm. Calculate the radius of curvature of the convex mirror.

In a typical Indian Bugghi $($a luxury cart drawn by horses$),$ a wooden plate is fixed on the rear on which one person can sit. A bugghi of mass $200\ kg$ is moving at a speed of $10\ km/h$. As it overtakes a school boy walking at a speed of $4\ km/h,$ the boy sits on the wooden plate. If the mass of the boy is $25\ kg,$ what will be the new velocity of the bugghi?
