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.

Two identically charged particles are fastened to the two ends of a spring of spring constant 100Nm-1 and natural length 10cm. The system rests on a smooth horizontal table. If the charge on each particle is 2.0 × 10-8C, find the extension in the length of the spring. Assume that the extension is small as compared to the natural length. Justify this assumption after you solve the problem.
