MCQ
Threshold wavelength for photoelectric effect on sodium is $5000\;\mathring A$. Its work function is
  • A
    $1\;J$
  • B
    $3 \times 10^{-19}\;J$
  • $4 \times {10^{ - 19}}J$
  • D
    $2 \times 10^{-19}\;J$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$4 \times {10^{ - 19}}J$
c
(c) ${W_0} = \frac{{hc}}{{{\lambda _0}}} = \frac{{6.625 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 3 \times {{10}^8}}}{{5000 \times {{10}^{ - 10}}}}J = 4 \times {10^{ - 19}}J$

A particle of mass $m$ is attached to one end of a mass-less spring of force constant $k$, lying on a frictionless horizontal plane. The other end of the spring is fixed. The particle starts moving horizontally from its equilibrium position at time $t=0$ with an initial velocity $u_0$. When the speed of the particle is $0.5 u_0$, it collies elastically with a rigid wall. After this collision :
