The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons varies
(d) The maximum kinetic energy of the photo-electron is given by
\(
\Rightarrow \mathrm{K} \cdot \mathrm{E}_{\cdot \max }=\mathrm{h} \mathrm{f}-\phi
\)
where \(h\) is the Planck constant \(f\) is the frequency of the incident light or electromagnetic radiation. The term \(\phi\) is the work function.
Hence, \(\mathrm{KE}_{\text {max }}\) varies linearly with frequency and there are no terms representing the intensity of the incident light.
Let \(p\) and \(E\) denote the linear momentum and energy of a photon. If the wavelength is decreased, then
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\begin{aligned}
& \text { (a) As, } \lambda=\frac{h}{p} \\
& \text { and } \lambda=\sqrt{\frac{h}{2 m E}} \\
& \Rightarrow \lambda \propto \frac{1}{p} \propto \frac{1}{E}
\end{aligned}\\
&\text { So, when wavelength is decreased, both } p \text { and } E \text { increase. }
\end{aligned}
\)
If the particles listed below all have the same kinetic energy, which one would possess the shortest de-Broglie wavelength?
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \text { (b) As, } \lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m K}} \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}
\end{aligned}
\)
Since, mass of \(\alpha\)-particle is largest as compare to all the particles given. So, \(\lambda\) is shortest for \(\alpha\)-particle.
An electron and proton are accelerated through the same potential difference. The ratio of their de-Broglie wavelength will be
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
\text { (a) As, } \lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m E}}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 q V m}} \\
\text { So, } \lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}} \\
\therefore \frac{\lambda_e}{\lambda_p}=\left(\frac{m_p}{m_e}\right)^{1 / 2}
\end{array}
\)
The energy of incident photons corresponding to maximum wavelength of visible light is
(c) \(\begin{aligned} E(\text { in } \mathrm{eV})= & \frac{12375}{\lambda(\text { in } Å)} \\ & =\frac{12375}{7000}=1.76 \mathrm{eV}\end{aligned}\)
The momentum of a photon is \(6.6 \times 10^{-29} \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{ms}^{-1}\). The frequency of the radiation (in Hz ) is
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
\text { (a) As, } p & =\frac{h v}{c} \\
\therefore \quad v & =\frac{p c}{h}=\frac{\left(6.6 \times 10^{-29}\right)\left(3 \times 10^8\right)}{\left(6.6 \times 10^{-34}\right)} \\
& =3 \times 10^{13} \mathrm{~Hz}
\end{array}
\)

(b) Given, \(E=100 \mathrm{eV}=\left(100 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\right) \mathrm{J}\) and
\(
\begin{aligned}
h & =6.62 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js} \\
E & =h \nu \\
\nu & =\frac{E}{h}=\frac{100 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{6.62 \times 10^{-34}} \\
& =0.24 \times 10^{17}=2.417 \times 10^{16} \mathrm{~Hz}
\end{aligned}
\)
According to Einstein’s photoelectric equation, the graph of KE of the photoelectron emitted from the metal versus the frequency of the incident radiation gives a straight line graph, whose slope
(c) According to Einstein’s photoelectric equation,
\(
\mathrm{KE}_{\max }=h \nu-\phi_0
\)
Comparing with the equation of straight line
\(
y=m x+c
\)
We get, slope of graph between KE and \(\nu=h\) (i.e. same for all metals)
Sodium and copper have work functions 2.3 eV and 4.5 eV respectively, then the ratio of their threshold wavelengths is nearest to

&\begin{array}{ll}
\text { For sodium, } & W_{01}=h \nu_{01}=\frac{h c}{\lambda_0} \\
\Rightarrow & \frac{2.3 \mathrm{eV}}{h}=v_{01}=\frac{c}{\lambda_{01}}
\end{array}
\end{aligned}
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { For copper, } \quad W_{02}=h \nu_{02}\\
&\begin{array}{ll}
\Rightarrow & \frac{4.5 \mathrm{eV}}{h}={\nu}_{02}=\frac{c}{\lambda_{02}} \\
\Rightarrow & \frac{\lambda_{01}}{\lambda_{02}}=\frac{c h}{2.3} \times \frac{4.5}{c h} \simeq \frac{2}{1} \Rightarrow \lambda_{01}: \lambda_{02}=2: 1
\end{array}
\end{aligned}
\)

(a) According to Einstein’s photoelectric equation:
\(
K E_{\max }=h \nu-\phi
\)
The work function is also related to the threshold frequency \(\left(v_0\right)\) by the equation:
\(
\phi=h \nu_0
\)
Given the problem:
The incident light frequency is \(\boldsymbol{4} \boldsymbol{\nu}_0\).
The threshold frequency is \(\boldsymbol{\nu}_0\).
Substituting these values into the photoelectric equation:
\(
\begin{aligned}
& K E_{\max }=h\left(4 \nu_0\right)-h \nu_0 \\
& K E_{\max }=3 h \nu_0
\end{aligned}
\)
If the de-Broglie wavelengths for a proton and for \(\alpha\)-particle are equal, then their velocities will be in the ratio
(a) As, \(\lambda=\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{m v}\)
So, \(\quad \frac{h}{m_1 v_1}=\frac{h}{m_2 v_2}\)
\(
\frac{v_1}{v_2}=\frac{m_2}{m_1}=\frac{4}{1} \quad\left(\because m_\alpha=4 m_p\right)
\)
The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron having 80 eV of energy is nearly (Take \(1 \mathrm{eV}=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J}\), Mass of electron \(=9.1 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}\) and Planck’s constant \(=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}\) )
(d) \(\begin{aligned} \text { As, } \lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m E}} & =\frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 80 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}} \\ & =1.4 Å\end{aligned}\)
If the energy of the photon is increased by a factor of 4, then its momentum
(c) (c) Momentum, \(p=\frac{h}{\lambda}\) or \(E=h \nu=\frac{h c}{\lambda}=p c\)
So, if the energy of photon is increased by a factor of 4 ,then its momentum will also increase by a factor of 4.
The work function for \(\mathrm{Al}, \mathrm{K}\) and Pt is 4.28 eV, 2.30 eV and 5.65 eV respectively. Their respective threshold frequencies would be
(a) Work function, \(W_0=h \nu_0\)
where, \(\nu_0=\) threshold frequency.
So,
\(
W \propto \nu_0
\)
Hence, \(\mathrm{Pt}>\mathrm{Al}>\mathrm{K}\)

& =\frac{6.62 \times 10^{-34}}{2.15 \times 10^{-25} \sqrt{T}} \mathrm{~m} \\
& =\frac{3.079}{\sqrt{T}} \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~m}=\frac{30.79}{\sqrt{T}} \AA \approx \frac{30.8}{\sqrt{T}} Å
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}

(b) \(E=\frac{12375}{\lambda(Å)}=\frac{12375}{3500} \mathrm{eV}=3.53 \mathrm{eV}\)
Since, \(E>W_B\) but \(E<W_A\), therefore photoelectrons will be emitted by metal \(B\).

& =6.2 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~m}
\end{aligned}
\)

de-Broglie’s wavelength,
\(
\lambda=\frac{h}{m v}
\)
For electron,
\(
\lambda_e=\frac{h}{m_e v}
\)
For photon,
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \lambda_p=\frac{h}{m_p v} \\
& \frac{\lambda_e}{\lambda_p}=\frac{h / m_c v}{h / m_p v} \\
& \frac{\lambda_e}{\lambda_p}=\frac{m_p}{m_e} \\
& \frac{\lambda_e}{\lambda_p}=\frac{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}} \\
& =0.18 \times 10^4=1836
\end{aligned}
\)

(a) Wavelength of photon will be greater than that of electron because mass of photon is less than that of electron
\(
\Rightarrow \quad \lambda_{\mathrm{ph}}>\lambda_{\mathrm{el}} \quad\left(\because \lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}\right)
\)

&\begin{aligned}
n & =\frac{P}{E}=\frac{P}{h v}=\frac{P \lambda}{h c} \\
& =\frac{1000 \times 1986}{6.6 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8} \approx 10^{30}
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}
\)
The retarding potential necessary to stop the emission of photoelectron, when a target material of work function 1.24 eV is irradiated with light of wavelength \(4.36 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}\) is
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\begin{aligned}
& \text { (b) } E=\frac{12375}{\lambda(\text { in } Å)}=\frac{12375}{4360}=2.84 \mathrm{eV} \\
& \therefore \quad K_{\max }=E-W=1.60 \mathrm{eV}
\end{aligned}\\
&\text { Thus, the retarding potential is } 1.60 \mathrm{~V} \text {. }
\end{aligned}
\)
The surface of some material is radiated, by waves of \(\lambda_1=3.5 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}\) and \(\lambda_2=5.4 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}\), respectively. The ratio of the stopping potential in two cases is \(2: 1\). The work function of the material is

& E_2=\frac{12375}{5400} \mathrm{eV}=2.29 \mathrm{eV}
\end{aligned}
\)
Now, \(\quad \frac{2}{1}=\frac{3.54-W}{2.29-W}\)
Solving this equation, we get \(W=1.05 \mathrm{eV}\).

(c) \(\frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{1}{2} \text { (given) }\)
We know that, \(\quad \lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m K}} \Rightarrow \lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{K}}\)
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
\Rightarrow & \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2}=\frac{\sqrt{K_2}}{\sqrt{K_1}} \Rightarrow \frac{\lambda_1^2}{\lambda_2^2}=\frac{K_2}{K_1} \\
\Rightarrow & \frac{\lambda_1^2}{\lambda_2^2}=\frac{2}{1} \Rightarrow \lambda_1: \lambda_2=\sqrt{2}: 1
\end{array}
\)

\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { (b) Work function, } \phi_0=\frac{h c}{\lambda_0}\\
&\Rightarrow \quad \phi_0 \propto \frac{1}{\lambda_0} \Rightarrow \frac{\left(\phi_0\right)_1}{\left(\phi_0\right)_2}=\frac{\left(\lambda_0\right)_2}{\left(\lambda_0\right)_1}=\frac{600}{300}=2: 1
\end{aligned}
\)

(a) The change in wavelength is given by
\(
\Delta \lambda=\lambda^{\prime}-\lambda=\lambda_c(1-\cos \phi)
\)
where, \(\lambda^{\prime}=\) wavelength of the X-rays scattered and \(\lambda_c=\frac{h}{m_0 c}=\) compton wavelength \(=2.426 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~m}\)
\(
\Rightarrow \quad \lambda^{\prime}=\lambda+\lambda_c\left(1-\cos 30^{\circ}\right)=10 \mathrm{pm}+0.134 \lambda_c=10.32 \mathrm{pm}
\)

\(
\begin{array}{ll}
& \lambda_1=\frac{h}{m_1 v_1} \text { and } \lambda_2=\frac{h}{m_2 v_2} \\
\therefore & \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2}=\frac{m_2 v_2}{m_1 v_1}=1
\end{array}
\)
The de-Broglie wavelength associated with an electron moving with a velocity \(0.5 \mathrm{cms}^{-1}\) and rest mass \(=9.1 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}\) is
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { (a) Mass of electron in motion is }\\
&\begin{aligned}
m & =\frac{m_0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}=\frac{m_0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.5 c)^2}{c^2}}}=\frac{m_0}{\sqrt{0.75}} \\
\therefore \quad \lambda & =\frac{h}{m v}=\frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34} \times \sqrt{0.75}}{m_0 v} \\
& =\frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34} \times \sqrt{0.75}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 1.5 \times 10^8}=4.2 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~m}
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}
\)
The work functions of metals \(A\) and \(B\) are in the ratio \(1: 2\). If light of frequencies \(f\) and \(2 f\) are incident on metal surfaces of \(A\) and \(B\) respectively, the ratio of the maximum kinetic energies of photoelectron emitted is ( \(f\) is greater than threshold frequency of \(A, 2 f\) is greater than threshold frequency of \(B\) )
\(
\text { (b) } \quad K_1=h f-W \quad\left(\because W_1=W, f_1=f\right)
\)
\(
\text { and } K_2=2 h f-2 W \quad\left(\because W_2=2 W, f_2=2 f\right)
\)
\(
\therefore \quad \frac{K_1}{K_2}=\frac{1}{2}
\)
A proton accelerated through a potential difference of 100 V , has de-Broglie wavelength \(\lambda_0\). The de-Broglie wavelength of an \(\alpha\)-particle, accelerated through 800 V is
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
\text { (d) As, } \lambda & =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 q V m}} \text { or } \lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{q V m}} \\
\therefore & \frac{\lambda_\alpha}{\lambda_p}=\frac{\sqrt{q_p V_p m_p}}{\sqrt{q_\alpha V_\alpha m_\alpha}}=\sqrt{\frac{1 \times 100 \times 1}{2 \times 800 \times 4}}=\frac{1}{8} \\
\therefore & \lambda_\alpha=\frac{\lambda_p}{8}=\frac{\lambda_0}{8}
\end{array}
\)
An electron and a photon possess the same de-Broglie wavelength. If \(E_e\) and \(E_p\) respectively are the energies of electron and photon and \(v\) and \(c\) are their respective velocities, then \(\frac{E_e}{E_p}\) is equal to
(b) de-Broglie wavelength, \(\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m E_e}}=\frac{h c}{E_p}\)
or \(2 m E_e=\frac{E_p^2}{c^2} \dots(i)\)
But \(E_e=\frac{1}{2} m v^2\) or \(m=\frac{2 E_e}{v^2}\)
From Eq. (i), we get
\(
2\left[\frac{2 E_e}{v^2}\right] E_e=\frac{E_p^2}{c^2} \text { or } \frac{4 E_e^2}{v^2}=\frac{E_p^2}{c^2}
\)
\(
\frac{E_e^2}{E_p^2}=\frac{v^2}{4 c^2} \quad \text { or } \quad \frac{E_e}{E_p}=\frac{v}{2 c}
\)
In a photoelectric experiment, the relation between applied potential difference between cathode and anode \((V)\) and the photoelectric current \((I)\) was found to be as shown in graph below. If Planck’s constant \(h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}\) and work function \(\phi_0=4 \mathrm{eV}\), the frequency of incident radiation would be nearly (in \(\mathrm{s}^{-1}\) )

&\begin{aligned}
V_0 & =-3.2 \mathrm{~V} \\
\text { As, } \quad e V_0 & =h v-\phi_0 \\
\Rightarrow \quad v & =\frac{e V_0+\phi_0}{h} \\
& =\frac{-3.2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}+4 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{6.6 \times 10^{-34}} \\

\end{aligned}
\)
Maximum KE of a photoelectron is \(E\) when the wavelength of incident light is \(\lambda\). If energy becomes four times when wavelength is reduced to one-third, then work function of the metal is

\text { (a) } & e V_s & =h \nu-\phi \\
\therefore & V_s & =\left(\frac{h}{e}\right) \nu-\frac{\phi}{e}
\end{aligned}
\)
Comparing with equation of straight line \(y=m x+c\)
Slope \((m)=\tan \theta=\frac{h}{e}\)
The work function of a metal is \(1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J}\). When the metal surface is illuminated by the light of wavelength \(6400 Å\), then the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons will be (Planck’s constant \(h=6.4 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}\) )

\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}
\)
The work function for tungsten and sodium are 4.5 eV and 2.3 eV, respectively. If the threshold wavelength \(\lambda\) for sodium is \(5600 Å\), then the value of \(\lambda\) for tungsten is
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { (c) Work function, } \phi_0=\frac{h c}{\lambda_0}\\
&\begin{aligned}
\therefore & \frac{\left(\phi_0\right)_{\mathrm{T}}}{\left(\phi_0\right)_{\mathrm{Na}}} =\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{Na}}}{\lambda_{\mathrm{T}}} \\
\text { or } & \lambda_{\mathrm{T}} =\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{Na}} \times\left(\phi_0\right)_{\mathrm{Na}}}{\left(\phi_0\right)_{\mathrm{T}}}=\frac{5600 \times 2.3}{4.5}=2862 Å
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}
\)
In a photoelectric experiment for \(4000 Å\) incident radiation, the potential difference to stop the ejection is 2 V. If the incident light is changed to \(3000 Å\), then the potential required to stop the ejection of electrons will be
(d) According to Einstein’s photoelectric equation
\(
\mathrm{E}=\mathrm{W}_0+\mathrm{K}_{\max }
\)
\(
V_0=\frac{h c}{e}\left[\frac{1}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{\lambda_0}\right]
\)
So, \(V_0\) depends upon frequency and energy of incident radiation and nature of material .
Decreasing the wavelength of incident radiation, increases the stopping potential.
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{V}_2>\mathrm{V}_1 \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{~V}_2>2 \mathrm{~V}
\end{aligned}
\)
An electron of mass \(m\) when accelerated through a potential difference \(V\) has de-Broglie wavelength \(\lambda\). The de-Broglie wavelength associated with a proton of mass \(M\) accelerated through the same potential difference will be
\(
\begin{aligned}
\text { (b) As, } \lambda & =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m E}} \\
\Rightarrow \lambda & \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}} \\
\text { So, } \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} & =\sqrt{\frac{m_2}{m_1}} \\
\text { So, } \frac{\lambda}{\lambda_2} & =\sqrt{\frac{M}{m}}
\end{aligned}
\)
\(
\therefore \quad \lambda_2=\lambda \sqrt{\left(\frac{m}{M}\right)}
\)
A photocell is illuminated by a point source of light, which is placed at a distance \(d\) from the cell. If the distance becomes \(d / 2\), then number of electrons emitted per second will
(b) Intensity of incident light \(\propto\) No. of electrons emitted per sec
\(
\propto \frac{1}{(\text { distance })^2}
\)
\(\therefore\) If distance becomes \(d / 2\), then number of electrons becomes 4 times.
The threshold frequency of the metal of the cathode in a photoelectric cell is \(1 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~Hz}\). When a certain beam of light is incident on the cathode, it is found that a stopping potential 4.144 V is required to reduce the current to zero. The frequency of the incident radiation is
(b) Stopping potential, \(V_0=\frac{h}{e}\left(\nu-\nu_0\right)\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
\left(\nu-\nu_0\right) & =\frac{V_0 \times e}{h}=\frac{4.144 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{663 \times 10^{-34}} \\
\nu-1 \times 10^{15} & =10^{15} \\
\text { Frequency } & =10^{15}+1 \times 10^{15}=2 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~Hz}
\end{aligned}
\)
If maximum velocity with which an electron can be emitted from a photocell is \(4 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}\), the stopping potential is (Take, mass of electron \(=9 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}\) )
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \text { (b) Given, } v_{\max }=4 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}=4 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \\
& \therefore \quad K_{\max }=\frac{1}{2} m v_{\max }^2=\frac{1}{2} \times 9 \times 10^{-31} \times\left(4 \times 10^6\right)^2 \\
& =7.2 \times 10^{-18} \mathrm{~J}=45 \mathrm{eV}
\end{aligned}
\)
Hence, stopping potential, \(V_0=\frac{K_{\max }}{e}=\frac{45 \mathrm{eV}}{e}=45 \mathrm{~V}\)
Threshold wavelength for a metal is \(5200 Å\). The photoelectron will be ejected, if it is irradiated by light from
(c) Wavelength \(\propto \frac{1}{\text { Energy }}\). Hence, for ejection of photoelectrons, wavelength should be smaller than threshold wavelength. As, wavelength of ultraviolet rays ( \(\sim 400 \mathrm{~nm}\) to 1 nm ) is less than that for infrared rays ( \(\sim 1 \mathrm{~nm}\) to 700 nm ). So, emission would be possible only ultraviolet lamp.
When a monochromatic point source of light is at a distance \(r\) from a photoelectric cell, the cut-off voltage is \(V\) and the saturation current is \(I\). If the same source is placed at a distance \(3 r\) away from the photoelectric cell, then
(b) When the distance is increased, frequency of incident light and hence the stopping potential does not change. But the intensity changes and hence the saturation current decreases nine times. \(\quad\left[\because\right.\)
Intensity of incident radiation \(\left.\propto \frac{1}{(\text { distance })^2}\right]\)
Cut-off voltage is independent of intensity and hence, remains the same.
Since distance becomes 3 times, intensity \((I)\) becomes \(\frac{I}{9}\).
In an experiment on photoelectric effect, the frequency \(\nu\) of the incident light is plotted against the stopping potential \(\nu_0[latex]. The work function of the photoelectric surface is given by ( [latex]e\) is electronic charge)
(a) According to Einstein’s equation,
\(
h \nu=\phi_0+K_{\max }
\)
where, \(\phi_0\) is the work function.
\(
\Rightarrow \quad h \nu=\phi_0+e V_0 \Rightarrow V_0=\frac{h v}{e}-\frac{\phi_0}{e}
\)
Comparing with equation, \(y=m x+c\)
\(
\phi_0=- \text { (intercept) } \times e=O B \times e \text { in } \mathrm{eV}
\)
Two electrons are moving with the same speed \(v\). One electron enters a region of uniform electric field while the other enters a region of uniform magnetic field. Then after sometime, if the de-Broglie wavelengths of the two are \(\lambda_1\) and \(\lambda_2\), then
(d) If one electron enters a uniform electric field and another enters a uniform magnetic field, both moving at the same speed, their de Broglie wavelengths ( \(\lambda 1\) and \(\lambda 2\), respectively) will be related as follows: \(\lambda 1\) can be greater than, less than, or equal to \(\lambda 2\). This is because the electric field can change the electron’s speed, while the magnetic field only changes the direction of the electron’s motion, not its speed.
Speed of electron which enters into electric field may increase or decrease depending on direction of electric field while for second electron, since magnetic force is perpendicular to direction of velocity, it remains constant.
So, from \(\lambda=\frac{h}{m v}\) \(\lambda_1>\lambda_2\) or \(\lambda_1<\lambda_2\)
The maximum wavelength of radiation that can produces photoelectric effect in a certain metal is 200 nm. The maximum kinetic energy acquired by electron due to radiation of wavelength 100 nm will be
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { (b) Maximum kinetic energy, }\\
&K_{\max }(\operatorname{in} \mathrm{eV})=\frac{h c}{e}\left[\frac{1}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{\lambda_0}\right]=12375\left[\frac{1}{1000}-\frac{1}{2000}\right]=6.2 \mathrm{eV}
\end{aligned}
\)
If the momentum of an electron is changed by \(\Delta p\), then the de-Broglie wavelength associated with it changes by \(0.50 \%\). The initial momentum of electron will be
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
\text { (c) de-Broglie wavelength, } \lambda=\frac{h}{p} \\
\Rightarrow \lambda-\frac{0.5 \lambda}{100}=\frac{h}{p+\Delta p} \\
\Rightarrow \frac{199 \lambda}{200}=\frac{h}{p+\Delta p}=\frac{199 h}{200 p} \\
\Rightarrow p+\Delta p=\frac{200}{199} p \\
\Rightarrow p=199 \Delta p
\end{array}
\)
When ultraviolet light of wavelength 100 nm is incident upon silver plate, a potential of 7.7 V is required to stop the photoelectrons from reaching the collector plate. How much potential will be required to stop the photoelectrons when light of wavelength 200 nm is incident upon silver?
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
\text { (a) Here, } & \lambda_1=\frac{12375}{E_1(\mathrm{eV})} Å=1000 Å \\
\therefore E_1=12.375 \mathrm{eV} \\
\text { Similarly, } E_2(\mathrm{eV}) & =\frac{12375}{\lambda_2(\AA)} \mathrm{eV}=\frac{12375}{2000}=6.1875 \mathrm{eV}
\end{array}
\)
Now, \(\quad E_1-W_0=e V_1\)
and \(\quad E_2-W_0=e V_2\)
Hence, \(12.375-W_0=7.7 \mathrm{eV}\)
and \(\quad 6.1875-W_0=e V_2\)
Solving, we get \(V_2=1.5 \mathrm{~V}\)
When 1 cm thick surface is illuminated with light of wavelength \(\lambda\), the stopping potential is \(V\). When the same surface is illuminated by light of wavelength \(2 \lambda\), the stopping potential is \(V / 3\). Threshold wavelength for metallic surface is
(b) According to the question,
\(
\begin{aligned}
& e V=h c\left(\frac{1}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{\lambda_0}\right) \dots(i) \\
& \frac{e V}{3}=h c\left(\frac{1}{2 \lambda}-\frac{1}{\lambda_0}\right) \dots(ii)
\end{aligned}
\)
Dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we get
\(
\begin{aligned}
3 & =\frac{\left(\frac{1}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{\lambda_0}\right)}{\left(\frac{1}{2 \lambda}-\frac{1}{\lambda_0}\right)} \\
3\left(\frac{1}{2 \lambda}-\frac{1}{\lambda_0}\right) & =\frac{1}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{\lambda_0} \\
\frac{3}{2 \lambda}-\frac{1}{\lambda} & =\frac{3}{\lambda_0}-\frac{1}{\lambda_0} \\
\frac{1}{2 \lambda} & =\frac{2}{\lambda_0}
\end{aligned}
\)
Threshold wavelength for metallic surface, \(\lambda_0=4 \lambda\)
If \(5 \%\) of the energy supplied to a bulb is irradiated as visible light, how many quanta are emitted per second by a 100 W lamp? (Assume, wavelength of visible light as \(5.6 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~cm}\) )
(a) Energy radiated as visible light \(=\frac{5}{100} \times 100=5 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{s}\)
Let \(n\) be the number of photons emitted per second, then
\(
\begin{aligned}
n h v & =E=5 \\
\therefore \quad n & =\frac{5 \lambda}{h c}=\frac{5 \times 5.6 \times 10^{-7}}{\left(6.62 \times 10^{-34}\right)\left(3 \times 10^8\right)} \\
& \approx 1.4 \times 10^{19}

Minimum light intensity that can be perceived by normal human eye is about \(10^{-10} \mathrm{Wbm}^{-2}\). What is the minimum number of photons of wavelength 660 nm that must enter the pupil in 1 s for one to see the object? (Area of cross-section of the pupil is \(10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}^2\) )
(c) Intensity, \(I=10^{-10} \mathrm{Wbm}^{-2}=10^{-10} \mathrm{Js}^{-1} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\).
Let the number of photons required be \(n\), then
\(
\begin{aligned}
I & =\frac{n h v}{A}=\frac{n h v}{10^{-4}}=10^{-10} \\
n & =\frac{10^{-10} \times 10^{-4}}{h v}=10^{-14} \frac{\lambda}{h c} \\
& =\frac{10^{-14} \times 660 \times 10^{-9}}{6.6 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}=3.3 \times 10^4

\)
A photon of energy \(E\) ejects a photoelectron from a metal surface whose work function is \(W_0\). If electron having maximum kinetic energy enters into a uniform magnetic field of induction \(B\) in a direction perpendicular to the field and describes a circular path of radius \(r\), then the radius \(r\) is given by (in the usual notation)
(a) As \(\frac{m v^2}{r}=q v B \Rightarrow \frac{m v}{q B}=r\)
Also, \(m v=p \Rightarrow p=\sqrt{2 m K}\)
\(
\Rightarrow \quad r=\frac{\sqrt{2 K m}}{B q}=\frac{\sqrt{2\left(E-W_0\right) m}}{e B}
\)
Radiations of two photon having energies twice and five times the work function of metal are incident successively on the metal surface. The ratio of the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases will be
(b) As, \(E-W_0=\frac{1}{2} m v^2\)
First case, \(\quad 2 W_0-W_0=\frac{1}{2} m v_1^2 \dots(i)\)
Second case, \(\quad 5 W_0-W_0=\frac{1}{2} m v_2^2 \dots(ii)\)
Therefore, from Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
\(
\frac{2 W_0-W_0}{5 W_0-W_0}=\frac{v_1^2}{v_2^2} \text { or } \frac{v_1}{v_2}=\frac{1}{2}
\)
Work function of nickel is 5.01 eV. When ultraviolet radiation of wavelength \(2000 Å\) is incident on the surface of nickel, electrons are emitted. What will be the maximum velocity of emitted electrons?
(b) Energy corresponding to \(2000 Å\),
\(
E=\frac{12375}{\lambda(\sim \operatorname{in} Å)}=\frac{12375}{2000} \mathrm{eV}=6.2 \mathrm{eV}
\)
Maximum kinetic energy,
\(
\begin{aligned}
K & =h v-h v_0 \\
K & =E-W \\
& =(6.2-5.01) \mathrm{eV}=1.19 \mathrm{eV}
\end{aligned}
\)
Now,
\(
K=\frac{1}{2} m v_{\max }^2
\)
\(
\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v_{\max }^2=1.19 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& v_{\max }^2=\frac{1.19 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 2}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}} \\
& v_{\max }^2=0.418 \times 10^{12}=41.8 \times 10^{10} \\
& v_{\max }=6.46 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}
\end{aligned}
\)
When radiation of wavelength \(\lambda\) is incident on a metallic surface, the stopping potential is 4.8 V. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of double the wavelength, then the stopping potential becomes 1.6 V. Then the threshold wavelength for the surface is
(b) From equation,
\(
\begin{aligned}
e V_0 & =h c\left(\frac{1}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{\lambda_0}\right) \\
4.8 & =\frac{h c}{e}\left(\frac{1}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{\lambda_0}\right) \dots(i) \\
1.6 & =\frac{h c}{e}\left(\frac{1}{2 \lambda}-\frac{1}{\lambda_0}\right) \dots(ii)
\end{aligned}
\)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
\(
\frac{\left(\frac{1}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{\lambda_0}\right)}{\left(\frac{1}{2 \lambda}-\frac{1}{\lambda_0}\right)}=\frac{4.8}{1.6} \Rightarrow \lambda_0=4 \lambda

We wish to see inside an atom. Assuming the atom to have a diameter of 100 pm [ 1 picometer \((\mathrm{pm})=\) \(10^{-12} \mathrm{~m}\) ], this means that one must be able to resolve a width of, say 10 pm. If an electron microscope is used, the minimum electron energy required is about

A 1100 W light bulb is placed at the centre of a spherical chamber of radius 20 cm . Assume that, \(60 \%\) the energy supplied to the bulb is converted into light and that the surface of the chamber is perfectly absorbing. The force and pressure exerted by the light on the surface of chamber is
(a) Consider a spherical chamber of radius 20 Bulb is placed at point \(S\) as shown in the figure.
Intensity of light at surface,

I=\frac{0.6 P}{4 \pi r^2}
\)
Force exerted on the surface, \(F=\frac{P}{c}\), where \(P\) is power of bulb.
\(
\therefore \quad F=\frac{1100}{3 \times 10^8}=3.6 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~N}

\(
\begin{aligned}
\text { Pressure exerted by light } & =\frac{I}{c}=\frac{0.6 P}{4 \pi r^2 c}=\frac{0.6 \times 1100}{4 \pi(0.2)^2 \times 3 \times 10^8} \\

In a photoemissive cell with exciting wavelength \(\lambda\), the fastest electron has speed \(v\). If the exciting wavelength is changed to \(\frac{\lambda}{4}\), the speed of the fastest emitted electron will be

\)
Light of wavelength \(\lambda\), strikes a photoelectric surface and electrons are ejected with an energy \(E\). If \(E\) is to be increased to exactly twice its original value, the wavelength changes to \(\lambda^{\prime}\), where
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { (c) Energy of photoelectron, }\\
&\Rightarrow \quad \begin{array}{ll}
E & =\frac{h c}{\lambda}-\phi_0 \\
\Rightarrow & \frac{h c}{\lambda}
\end{array}=E+\phi_0 \dots(i)
\end{aligned}
\)
where \(\phi_0\) is the work function for the metal surface (constant). When \(E^{\prime}=2 E\), then
\(
\begin{aligned}
& 2 E & =\frac{h c}{\lambda^{\prime}}-\phi_0 \\
\Rightarrow & \frac{h c}{\lambda^{\prime}} & =2 E+\phi_0 \dots(ii)
\end{aligned}
\)
Dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we get
\(
\frac{\lambda^{\prime}}{\lambda}=\frac{E+\phi_0}{2 E+\phi_0}
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
\frac{\lambda^{\prime}}{\lambda} & =\frac{\left(E+\phi_0\right)}{2\left(E+\frac{\phi_0}{2}\right)} \\

Light of wavelength 330 nm falling on a piece of metal ejects electrons with sufficient energy which requires voltage \(V_0\) to prevent them from reaching a collector. In the same set up, light of wavelength 220 nm , ejects electrons which require twice the voltage \(V_0\) to stop them in reaching a collector. The numerical value of voltage \(V_0\) is
(c) Let \(W\) be the work function of metal, then
\(
\begin{aligned}
e V_0 & =\frac{h c}{330 \times 10^{-9}}-W \dots(i) \\
e\left(2 V_0\right) & =\frac{h c}{220 \times 10^{-9}}-W \dots(ii)
\end{aligned}
\)
Solving these two equations, we get
\(
\begin{aligned}
V_0 & =\frac{10^9 \times h \times c}{110 \times e \times 6} \\
& =\frac{10^9 \times 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{110 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 6}=\frac{15}{8} \mathrm{~V}

Light of wavelength \(0.6 \mu \mathrm{~m}\) from a sodium lamp falls on a photocell and causes the emission of photoelectrons for which the stopping potential is 0.5 V. With light of wavelength \(0.4 \mu \mathrm{~m}\) from a sodium lamp, stopping potential is 1.5 V. With this data, the value of \(h / e\) is
(c) As, \(e V=\frac{h c}{\lambda}-W\)
\(
\therefore \quad V=\left(\frac{h}{e}\right) \cdot \frac{c}{\lambda}-\frac{W}{e}
\)
So,
\(
\begin{aligned}
V_1 & =\left(\frac{h}{e}\right) \frac{c}{\lambda_1}-\frac{W}{e} \dots(i) \\
V_2 & =\left(\frac{h}{e}\right) \frac{c}{\lambda_2}-\frac{W}{e} \dots(ii)

Solving these two equations, we get

\begin{aligned}
\frac{h}{e} & =\frac{\lambda_1 \lambda_2\left(V_1-V_2\right)}{c\left(\lambda_2-\lambda_1\right)} \\
& =\frac{\left(0.6 \times 0.4 \times 10^{-12}\right)(1.0)}{\left(3 \times 10^8\right)\left(0.2 \times 10^{-6}\right)} \\

When photons of energy 4.25 eV strike the surface of a metal \(A\), the ejected photoelectrons have maximum kinetic energy \(T_A\) expressed in eV and de-Broglie wavelength \(\lambda_A\). The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectron liberated from another metal \(B\) by photons of energy 4.70 eV is \(T_B=\left(T_A-1.50\right) \mathrm{eV}\). If the de-Broglie wavelength of these photoelectrons is \(\lambda_B=2 \lambda_A\), then choose the wrong option.
(d) We know, \(K_{\max }=E-W\)
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
\therefore & T_A=4.25-W_A \dots(i) \\
& T_B=\left(T_A-1.50\right)=4.70-W_B \dots(ii)
\end{array}
\)
From these two equations, we have
\(
W_B-W_A=1.95 \mathrm{eV} \dots(iii)
\)
de-Broglie wavelength is given by
\(
\begin{aligned}
\lambda & =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 K m}} \text { or } \lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{K}} \\
\frac{\lambda_B}{\lambda_A} & =\sqrt{\frac{K_A}{K_B}} \Rightarrow 2=\sqrt{\frac{T_A}{T_A-1.5}} \\
T_A & =2 \mathrm{eV}, W_A=2.25 \mathrm{eV}, W_B=4.20 \mathrm{eV} \\
T_B & =0.5 \mathrm{eV}
\end{aligned}
\)
The graph between the energy \(\log E\) of an electron and its de-Broglie wavelength \(\log \lambda\) will be [AIIMS 2018]
(c) As we know that, wavelength of a charged particle,
\(
\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m E}}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m}} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{E}}
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \log \lambda=\log \left(\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m}} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{E}}\right) \\
& \log \lambda=\log \frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m}}+\log \frac{1}{E^{1 / 2}} \\
& \log \lambda=\log \left(\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m}}\right)-\frac{1}{2} \log E \\
& \log \lambda=-\frac{1}{2} \log E+\log \frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m}}
\end{aligned}
\)
Comparing the above equation with the equation of straight line, i.e. \(\quad y=m x+c\).
We can conclude that, \(\log \lambda\) varies linearly with \(\log E\), with slope \(-1 / 2\).
It has been correctly shown in graph (c).
The wavelength \(\lambda\) of a photon and the de-Broglie wavelength of an electron have the same value. Find the ratio of energy of photon to the kinetic energy of electron in terms of mass \(m[latex], speed of light [latex]c\) and Planck’s constant (h). [JIPMER 2017]
(d) The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron,
\(
\lambda=\frac{h}{m v} \Rightarrow v=\frac{h}{m \lambda} \dots(i)
\)
Energy of photon,
\(
E_p=\frac{h c}{\lambda} \text { (since, } \lambda \text { is same for electron and photon) } \dots(ii)
\)
Kinetic energy of photon to kinetic energy of electron
\(
=\frac{E_p}{E_e}=\frac{\frac{h c}{\lambda}}{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) m v^2}=\frac{2 h c}{\lambda m v^2}
\)
Substituting the value of \(v\) from Eq. (i), we get
\(
\frac{E_p}{E_e}=\frac{2 h c}{\lambda m\left(\frac{h}{m \lambda}\right)^2}=\frac{2 \lambda m c}{h}
\)
When a light beam of frequency \(\nu\) is incident on a metal surface, photoelectrons are emitted. If these electrons describe a circle of radius \(r\) in a magnetic field of strength \(B\), then the work function of the metal is [EAMCET 2015]
(b) When charged particle is moving on a circular path in a uniform magnetic field \(B\), then
\(
\frac{m v^2}{r}=q v B \Rightarrow \frac{m v}{r}=q B \Rightarrow v=\frac{q B r}{m}
\)
Thus, kinetic energy \(=\frac{1}{2} m v^2=\frac{1}{2} m \times\left(\frac{q B r}{m}\right)^2=\frac{1}{2 m}(q B r)^2\)
Now for photoelectric effect, Einstein’s equation is
\(
h \nu=W+(\mathrm{KE})
\)
where,
\(
W=\text { work function }
\)
\(
\Rightarrow \quad h \nu-\mathrm{KE}=W \Rightarrow W=h v-\frac{(q B r)^2}{2 m}
\)
Here, charged particle is a photoelectron denoted by \(e\)
\(
\therefore \quad W=h \nu-\frac{(e B r)^2}{2 m_e}
\)
The work function of metals is in the range of 2 eV to 5 eV. Find which of the following wavelength of light cannot be used for photoelectric effect. (Consider, Planck’s constant \(=4 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{eV}\)-s and velocity of light \(=3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) ) [WB JEE 2015]
(b) Given that, \(2 \mathrm{eV} \leq \phi \leq 5 \mathrm{eV}\)
Wavelength corresponding to minimum and maximum values of work function are
\(
\lambda_{\max }=\frac{h c}{E}=\frac{4 \times 10^{-15} \times 3 \times 10^8}{2}
\)
\(
=6 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}=600 \mathrm{~nm}
\)
and
\(
\begin{aligned}
\lambda_{\min } & =\frac{h c}{E}=\frac{4 \times 10^{-15} \times 3 \times 10^8}{5} \\
& =2.4 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}=240 \mathrm{~nm}
\end{aligned}
\)
Clearly, wavelength range would be
\(
240 \mathrm{~nm} \leq \lambda \leq 600 \mathrm{~nm}
\)
Thus, wavelength 650 nm is not suitable for photoelectric effect.
Consider two particles of different masses. In which of the following situations, the heavier of the two particles will have smaller de-Broglie wavelength? [WB JEE 2015]
(d) The de-Broglie wavelength is
\(
\lambda=\frac{h}{m v} \Rightarrow m=\frac{h}{\lambda v} \Rightarrow m \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}, \text { if } \frac{h}{v}=\text { constant }
\)
Again, \(\frac{h}{v}\) will be constant only when \(v\) is constant.
Thus, in present case the de-Broglie wavelength of heavier particle will be smaller, when the velocities of two particles will be same.
The de-Broglie wavelength associated with an electron accelerated by a potential of 64 V is [Manipal 2015]
(a) The de-Broglie wavelength of electron associated with voltage is given by
\(
\lambda=\frac{1.227}{\sqrt{V}} \mathrm{~nm}=\frac{1.227}{\sqrt{64}} \mathrm{~nm}=0.153 \mathrm{~nm}
\)
The electrons are emitted in the photoelectric effect from a metal surface [Manipal 2015]
(d) Only if the frequency of the incident radiation is above a certain threshold value.
Explanation:
The photoelectric effect describes the phenomenon where electrons are emitted from a metal surface when light shines on it. However, this emission only occurs if the frequency of the light is greater than a specific threshold frequency for the metal. This threshold frequency is determined by the work function of the metal, which is the minimum energy required to free an electron from the surface. If the light’s frequency is below this threshold, the electrons do not have enough energy to escape the metal.
When the energy of the incident radiation is increased by \(20 \%\), the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted from a metal surface increased from 0.5 eV to 0.8 eV. The work function of the metal is [UP CPMT 2014]
(b) From Einstein’s photoelectric equation, \((\mathrm{KE})_{\max }=h \nu-\phi_0\)
For first condition, \(0.5=E-\phi_0 \dots(i)\)
For the second condition,
\(
\begin{aligned}
0.8 & =\left(E+\frac{E \times 20}{100}\right)-\phi_0 \\
\Rightarrow \quad 0.8 & =1.2 E-\phi_0 \dots(ii)
\end{aligned}
\)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
\(
\begin{array}{rlrl}
0.3 & =0.2 E \\
\Rightarrow & E =\frac{3}{2}=1.5 \mathrm{eV}
\end{array}
\)
From Eq. (i), \(\phi_0=E-0.5=1.5-0.5=1 \mathrm{eV}\)
Light of wavelength \(\lambda_A\) and \(\lambda_B\) falls on two identical metal plates \(A[latex] and [latex]B\), respectively. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons is \(K_A\) and \(K_B\) respectively, then which one of the following relations is true? \(\left(\lambda_A=2 \lambda_B\right)\) [MHT CET 2014]
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { (a) According to Einstein’s photoelectric equation, }\\
&\begin{aligned}
& K_A=\frac{h c}{\lambda_A}-\phi \Rightarrow K_A+\phi=\frac{h c}{\lambda_A} \\
& K_B=\frac{h c}{\lambda_B}-\phi=\frac{h c}{\left(\lambda_A / 2\right)}-\phi \\
& K_B=\frac{2 h c}{\lambda_A}-\phi=2\left(K_A+\phi\right)-\phi=2 K_A+\phi \Rightarrow K_A<\frac{K_B}{2}
\end{aligned}

The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons depends only on [KCET 2014]
(b) Above the threshold frequency, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons depends on the frequency of the incident light, but is independent of charge, pressure, angle of incidence, etc., of the incident light.
Note: \(\text { K.E.max }={h\nu}-\phi\)
A light of wavelength \(5000 Å\) falls on a sensitive plate with photoelectric work function 1.90 eV. Kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons will be (Take, \(h=6.62 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}\) ) [UP CPMT 2014]
(c) From photoelectric equation, \(E_K=E-W\)
where, \(E_K\) is kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons, \(W\) is the work function and \(E\) is the energy supplied.
\(
E=h \nu=\frac{h c}{\lambda}
\)
where, \(h\) is Planck’s constant, \(c\) is the speed of light and \(\lambda\) is the wavelength.
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
\therefore & E=\frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{5000 \times 10^{-10}}=3.96 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J} \\
\text { Also, } & 1 \mathrm{eV}=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J} \\
\therefore & E=\frac{3.96 \times 10^{-19}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}=2.48 \mathrm{eV} \\
\text { Hence, } & E_K=2.48-1.90=0.58 \mathrm{eV}
\end{array}

When monochromatic light falls on a photosensitive material, the number of photoelectron emitted per second is \(n\) and their maximum kinetic energy is \(K_{\text {max }}\). If the intensity of incident light is doubled, then [EAMCET 2014]
(a) We should know that the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons is given by
\(
K_{\max }=h \nu-\phi
\)
In the above formula,
\(K_{\text {max }}\) represents the maximum kinetic energy
h represents the Planck’s constant
and \(\nu\) is represents the frequency
Hence, it is dependent mainly on the energy (that is frequency) of the incident photon. On doubling the intensity, \(K_{\max }\) remains the same.
Explanation: Maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons, does not depend upon the intensity of the incident light. If the intensity of light be doubled, then the number of photoelectrons emitted per second is doubled. So, \(n\) is doubled but \(K_{\max }\) remains same.
Find the correct statement(s) about photoelectric effect. [WB JEE 2014]
(a) The photoelectric emission is an instantaneous process without any apparent time lag.
Below threshold frequency no electron can be emitted.
According to Einstein.s photoelectric equation,
\(
K_{\max }=h \nu-\phi_0
\)
where \(\nu\) is the frequency of incident radiation if it is more then the threshold frequency.
The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is proportional to the frequency of incident radiation.
If the wavelength of incident light falling on a photosensitive material decreases, then [Kerala CEE 2014]
(d) If the wavelength of incident light falling on a photosensitive meterial decreases, then stopping potential increases. This is because
\(
V_0=\frac{h}{e}\left(\nu-\nu_0\right) \Rightarrow V_0=\frac{h}{e}\left(\frac{c}{\lambda}-\frac{c}{\lambda_0}\right) \Rightarrow V_0 \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}
\)
The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron is the same as that of a 50 keV X-ray photon. The ratio of the energy of the photon to the kinetic energy of the electron is (the energy equivalent of electron mass of 0.5 MeV ) [WB JEE 2014]
(c) de-Broglie wavelength, \(\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m K}}\)
The kinetic energy of the electron, \(K_{\text {electron }}=\frac{h^2}{2 m \cdot \lambda^2} \dots(i)\)
where, \(h=\) Planck’s constant, \(\lambda=\) wavelength
The photon energy, \(E_{\text {photon }}=\frac{c h}{\lambda} \dots(ii)\)
From Eqs. (ii) and (i), we get
\(
\begin{aligned}
\frac{E_{\text {photon }}}{K_{\text {electron }}} & =\frac{c h / \lambda}{h^2 / 2 m \cdot \lambda^2}=\frac{h c \cdot \lambda^2 2 m}{h^2 \cdot \lambda}=\frac{2 m \lambda c}{h} \\
& =\frac{2\left(m c^2\right)}{h c / \lambda}=\frac{2 \times\left(5 \times 10^5\right)}{50 \times 10^3}=20 \\
F_{\text {photon }}: K_{\text {electron }} & =20: 1
\end{aligned}
\)
Maximum velocity of the photoelectron emitted by a metal is \(1.8 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\). Take, the value of specific charge of the electron is \(1.8 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{C} \mathrm{kg}^{-1}\), then the stopping potential in volt is [KCET 2013]
(c) Given, \(v=1.8 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
\(
\frac{e}{m}=1.8 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{Ckg}^{-1}
\)
We have, \(\quad e V_0=\frac{1}{2} m v^2 \Rightarrow V_0 \frac{e}{m}=\frac{v^2}{2}\)
\(
\Rightarrow \quad V_0 \times 1.8 \times 10^{11}=\frac{1.8 \times 1.8 \times\left(10^6\right)^2}{2} \Rightarrow V_0=9 \mathrm{~V}
\)
Identify the graph depicting the variation of the de-Broglie wavelength \(\lambda\) of an electron with its kinetic energy \(K\). [Kerala CEE 2013]
(a) de-Broglie wavelength is given by
So,
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \lambda=\frac{h}{p} \text { and } \frac{h}{p} \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{K}} \\
& \lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{K}} \text { or } \lambda \sqrt{K}=\mathrm{constant}
\end{aligned}
\)
Hence, the graph between \(\lambda\) and \(K\) will be a curved line.
Photocells convert [Kerala CEE 2013]
(d) A photocell converts light energy into electrical energy.
Explanation:
A photocell, also known as a photovoltaic cell, works by using the photoelectric effect. When light strikes the cell, it excites electrons in a semiconductor material, causing them to flow and generate an electric current. This process converts the light energy into electrical energy.
Maximum kinetic energy of electrons emitted in photoelectric effect increases when [MP PMT 2013]
(d) Mmaximum energy of an electron will be \(E=\frac{h c}{\lambda}-\phi\)
Where \(\phi\) is the work function and ‘ \(h\) ‘ is the planck’s constant and \(\lambda\) is the wavelength of the light and ‘ \(c\) ‘ is the velocity of light and ‘ \(E\) ‘ is the maximum kinetic energy.
Work function will be constant for a metal and as the wavelength of light decreases the energy of radiation increases and the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron emitted increases.
In photoelectric effect, the photoelectric current [UP CPMT 2013]
(b) Photoelectric current depends on the intensity of the incident light and is independent of the frequency of the incident light.
Explanation:
The photoelectric current, which is the flow of electrons emitted from a material when light shines on it, is directly proportional to the number of photons that strike the material per unit time. This number of photons is determined by the intensity of the light beam. More intense light means more photons, which leads to more electrons being ejected and a higher photoelectric current.
What should be the velocity of an electron, so that its momentum becomes equal to that of a photon of wavelength \(5200 Å\)? [Manipal 2012]
\(
\begin{array}{ll}
\text { (c) Momentum, } p=m v=\frac{h}{\lambda} \text { or } v=\frac{h}{m \lambda} \\
\therefore v=\frac{6.62 \times 10^{-34}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 5.2 \times 10^{-7}} \\
\Rightarrow v=\frac{6.62 \times 10^4}{9.1 \times 5.2} \Rightarrow v \cong 1400 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}
\end{array}
\)
The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron moving with a velocity \(1.5 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) is equal to that of a photon. The ratio of the kinetic energy of the electron to the energy of the photon is [AMU 2012]
\(
\begin{aligned}
&\text { (a) }\\
&\begin{gathered}
K_e=\frac{1}{2} m v^2 \text { and } \lambda=\frac{h}{m v} \\
K_e=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{h}{\lambda v}\right) v^2=\frac{v h}{2 \lambda} \text { and } E_p=\frac{h c}{\lambda}
\end{gathered}
\end{aligned}
\)
\(
\therefore \quad \frac{K_e}{E_p}=\frac{v}{2 c}=\frac{1.5 \times 10^8}{2 \times 3 \times 10^8}=\frac{1}{4}
\)
The threshold frequency for a certain photosensitive metal is \(\nu_0\). When it is illuminated by light of frequency \(\nu=2 \nu_0\), the maximum velocity of photoelectrons is \(v_0\). What will be the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons when the same metal is illuminated by light of frequency \(\nu=5 \nu_0\)? [AMU 2012]
(a) According to Einstein’s photoelectric equation,
\(
K_{\max }=h \nu-h \nu_0
\)
Initially, \(\frac{1}{2} m v_0^2=h\left(2 \nu_0\right)-h\left(\nu_0\right)=h \nu_0 \dots(i)\)
Then, when, \(\nu=5 \nu_0\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& & \frac{1}{2} m v^2 & =5 h \nu_0-h \nu_0=4 h \nu_0 \\
\Rightarrow & & \frac{1}{2} m v^2 & =4\left(1 / 2 m v_0^2\right) [\because \text { from Eq. (i) }]\\
\Rightarrow & & v^2 & =4 v_0^2 \text { or } v=\sqrt{2} v_0
\end{aligned}
\)
The name of ions knocked out from the hot surface is [AFMC 2011]
(c) The process of emitting electrons from a hot surface is known as thermionic emission. When a metal is heated sufficiently, electrons gain enough thermal energy to overcome the material’s work function – the minimum energy required for an electron to escape from the surface. These emitted electrons are often referred to as thermions.
Why the other options are incorrect:
(a) Nuclei: Nuclei contain protons and neutrons and are much more tightly bound within the atom than electrons. It would require significantly higher energy to remove them from the surface.
(b) Neutrons: Similar to protons, neutrons are part of the nucleus and are not easily ejected by heat alone.
(d) Protons: Protons, also within the nucleus, are not released in this process.
