Question
The electric field at a point associated with a light wave is $\text{E}=\big(100\frac{\text{v}}{\text{m}}\big)\sin[(3.0\times10^{15}\text{s}^{-1})\text{t]sin[(6.0}\times10^{15}\text{s}^{-1})\text{t}].$ If this light falls on a metal surface having a work function of $2.0eV$, what will be the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons?

Answer

$\text{E}=100\sin[(3\times10^{15}\text{s}^{-1})\text{t}]-\cos[3\times10^{15}\text{s}^{-1} )\text{t]}$$=100\frac{1}{2}[\cos[9\times10^{15}\text{s}^{-1})\text{t}]-\cos[3\times10^{15}\text{s}^{-1})\text{t}]$
The w are $9 \times 10^{15}$ and $3 \times 10^{15}$ for largest K.E.
$\text{f}_\text{max}=\frac{\text{W}_{\text{max}}}{2\pi}=\frac{9\times10^{15}}{2\pi}$
$\text{E}-\phi=\text{K.E}.$
$\Rightarrow\text{hf}-\phi_0=\text{K.E}.$
$\Rightarrow\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times9\times10^{15}}{2\pi\times1.6\times10^{-19}}-2=\text{KE}$
$\Rightarrow\text{KE}=3.938\text{ev}=3.93\text{ev}.$

A small particle travelling with a velocity u collides elastically with a spherical body of equal mass and of radius r initially kept at rest. The centre of this spherical body is located a distance (p < r) away from the direction of motion of the particle. Find the final velocities of the two particles. [Hint: The force acts along the normal to the sphere through the contact. Treat the collision as onedimensional for this direction. In the tangential direction no force acts and the velocities do not change].
