Question 14 Marks
Photoelectric effect
It is the phenomenon of emission of electrons from a metallic surface when light of a suitable frequency is incident on it. The emitted electrons are called photoelectrons.
Nearly all metals exhibit this effect with ultraviolet light but alkali metals like lithium, sodium, potassium, cesium etc. show this effect even with visible light. It is an instantaneous process i.e. photoelectrons are emitted as soon as the light is incident on the metal surface. The number of photoelectrons emitted per second is directly proportional to the intensity of the incident radiation.
The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted from a given metal surface is independent of the intensity of the incident light and depends only on the frequency of the incident light. For a given metal surface there is a certain minimum value of the frequency of the incident light below which emission of photoelectrons does not occur. 
(I) In a photoelectric experiment plate current is plotted against anode potential.

Question 24 Marks
Motion of Charge in Magnetic Field
An electron with speed $V_0$ << c moves in a circle of radius $r _{\circ}$ in a uniform magnetic field. This electron is able to traverse a circular path as the magnetic force acting on the electron is perpendicular to both $V_0$ and B ,as shown in the figure. This force continuously deflects the particle sideways without changing its speed and the particle will move along a circle perpendicular to the field. The time required for one revolution of the electron is $T _{ o }$.

(A) $4 r_0$ (B) $2 r_0$ (C) $r _{ o }$ (D) $r _0 / 2$

(ii) If v = 2vo, then the time required for one revolution of the electron (To ) will change to
(A) $4 T_0$ (B) $2 T_{ O }$ (C) $T _{ o }$ (D) $T _{ d } / 2$
(iii) A charged particles is projected in a magnetic field . The acceleration of the particle is found to be. Find the value of x.

(iv) If the given electron has a velocity not perpendicular to B, then trajectory of the electron is
(A) straight line (B) circular (C) helical (D) zig-zag
