Question
When a monochromatic radiations of suitable frequency obtained from source $S,$ after being filtered by a filter attached on the window $W,$ fall on the photosensitive place $C,$ the photo electrons are emitted from $C,$ which get accelerated towards the plate $A$ if it is kept at positive potential. These electrons flow in the outer circuit resulting in photoelectric current. Due to it, the microammeter shows a deflection. The reading of micrommeter measures the photoelectric current.

An experimental setup of verification of photoelectric effect is shown in figure. The voltage across the electrodes is measured with the help ofan ideal voltmeter, and which can be varied by moving jockey Jon the potentiometer wire. The battery used in potentiometer circuit is of $16 V$ and its internal resistance is $2\Omega$. The resistance of $100\ cm$ long potentiometer wire is $8\Omega$.

The photocurrent is measured with the help of an ideal ammeter. Two plates of potassium oxide of area $50\ cm^2$ at separation $0.5\ mm$ are used in the vacuum tube. Photocurrent in the circuit is very small, so we can treat the potentiometer circuit as an independent circuit.​​​​​​​

  1. When radiation falls on the cathode plate, a current of $2\mu\text{A}$ is recorded in the ammeter. Assuming that the vacuum tube setup follows Ohm's law, the equivalent resistance of vacuum tube operating in the case when jockey is at end $P$ is:
  1. $8\times10^8\Omega$
  2. $16\times10^6\Omega$
  3. $8\times10^6\Omega$
  4. $10\times10^6\Omega$
  1. It is found that ammeter current remains unchanged $(2\mu\text{A})$ even when the jockey is moved from the end $P$ to the middle point of the potentiometer wire. Assuming that all the incident photons eject electrons and the power of the light incident is $4\times10^{-6}\Omega$. Then, the color of the incident light is:
  1. Green
  2. Violet
  3. Red
  4. Orange
  1. Which of the following colors may not give photoelectric effect for this cathode?
  1. Green
  2. Violet
  3. Red
  4. Orange
  1. When other light falls on the anode plate, the anuneter reading zero till jockey is moved from the end $P$ to the middle point of the wire $PQ$. Therefore, the deflection is recorded in the anuneter. The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electron is:
  1. $16eV$
  2. $8eV$
  3. $4eV$
  4. $10eV$
  1. If the intensity of incident radiation is increased twice, the number of photoelectrons emitted per second will be:
  1. Halves
  2. Double
  3. Remain same
  4. Four times

Answer

  1. $(c)\  8\times10^6\Omega$
Equivalent resistance
$\text{A}=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{I}}=\frac{16\text{V}}{2\times10^{-6}\text{A}}=8\times10^6\Omega$
  1. $(d)\ 10\times10^6\Omega$
$\text{P}=\frac{\text{IhC}}{\text{e}\lambda}$
$\lambda=\frac{(2\times10^{-6})(6.6\times10^{-34})(3\times10^8)}{(4\times10^{-6})(1.6\times10^{-19})}$
$\frac{9.9}{1.6}\times10^{-7}\text{m}=\frac{9900}{1.6}\mathring{\text{A}}=6187\mathring{\text{A}}$
Which is in the range of orange light.
  1. $(c)$ Red
The range of wavelength for red light is beyond the wavelength of incident light.
  1. $(b) \ 8eV$
Stopping potential $, V_s = 8V$ and $K.E. = eV_s$
$\therefore K.E. = 8eV$
  1. $(b)$ Double
Photoelectric current varies linearly with the intensity of the incident radiation.

Mutual inductance is the phenomenon of inducing emfina coil, due to a change of current in the neighbouring coil. The amount of mutual inductance that links one coil to another depends very much on the relative positioning of the two coils, their geometry and relative separation between them. Mutual inductance between the two coils increases ft, times if the coils are wound over an iron core of relative permeability.
