A proton moving with one tenth of velocity of light has a certain de Broglie wavelength of λ\lambda. An alpha particle having certain kinetic energy has the same de-Brogle wavelength λ\lambda. The ratio of kinetic energy of proton and that of alpha particle is:
A 1 : 4
B 2 : 1
C 4 : 1
D 1 : 2
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

For same λ1\lambda_{1} momentum should be same, (P)P=(P)α(P)_{P}=(P)_{\alpha} 2kPmP=2kαmα\Rightarrow \sqrt{2 k_{P} m_{P}}=\sqrt{2 k_{\alpha} m_{\alpha}} kPmP=kαmα\Rightarrow k_{P} m_{P}=k_{\alpha} m_{\alpha} kPkα=(mαmP)=41=4:1\Rightarrow \dfrac{k_{P}}{k_{\alpha}}=\left(\dfrac{m_{\alpha}}{m_{P}}\right)=\dfrac{4}{1}=4: 1

Q44
A moving proton and electron have the same de-Broglie wavelength. If K and P denote the K.E. and momentum respectively. Then choose the correct option :
A Kp < Ke and Pp = Pe
B Kp = Ke and Pp = Pe
C Kp < Ke an Pp < Pe
D Kp > Ke and Pp = Pe
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution
λp=hPp{\lambda _p} = {h \over {{P_p}}}
λe=hPe{\lambda _e} = {h \over {{P_e}}}

\because

λp=λe{\lambda _p} = {\lambda _e}
Pp=Pe\Rightarrow {P_p} = {P_e}
(K)p=Pp22mp{(K)_p} = {{P_p^2} \over {2{m_p}}}
(K)e=Pe22me{(K)_e} = {{P_e^2} \over {2{m_e}}}

Q45
The work functions of Aluminium and Gold are 4.1 eV4.1 ~\mathrm{eV} and and 5.1 eV5.1 ~\mathrm{eV} respectively. The ratio of the slope of the stopping potential versus frequency plot for Gold to that of Aluminium is
A 1.5
B 1.24
C 1
D 2
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

We are given the work functions of Aluminium and Gold as

4.1 eV4.1 ~\mathrm{eV}

and

5.1 eV5.1 ~\mathrm{eV}

, respectively. The stopping potential (

VsV_s

) is related to the frequency (

ff

) of the incident light by the equation:

eVs=h(ff0)eV_s = h(f - f_0)

Where

ee

is the charge of an electron,

hh

is Planck's constant, and

f0f_0

is the threshold frequency. The threshold frequency is related to the work function (ϕ\phi) by:

ϕ=hf0\phi = hf_0

So, we can write the equation for stopping potential as:

Vs=he(fϕh)V_s = \frac{h}{e}(f - \frac{\phi}{h})

This equation represents a straight line with slope

he\frac{h}{e}

.

Therefore, the slope of the stopping potential versus frequency plot is the same for both Aluminium and Gold.

The ratio of the slopes is:

Slope for GoldSlope for Aluminium=hehe=1\frac{\text{Slope for Gold}}{\text{Slope for Aluminium}} = \frac{\frac{h}{e}}{\frac{h}{e}} = 1

So , the ratio of the slope of the stopping potential versus frequency plot for Gold to that of Aluminium is 1.

Q46
When UV light of wavelength 300 nm300 \mathrm{~nm} is incident on the metal surface having work function 2.13 eV2.13 \mathrm{~eV}, electron emission takes place. The stopping potential is : (Given hc =1240 eV nm=1240 \mathrm{~eV} \mathrm{~nm} )
A 4 V
B 2 V
C 4.1 V
D 1.5 V
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

To find the stopping potential (VsV_s) when UV light of wavelength 300300 nm is incident on a metal surface with a work function of 2.132.13 eV, we can use the photoelectric equation which relates the energy of the incident photons, the work function of the metal, and the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons.

The energy (E) of the photons can be calculated using the equation: E=hcλE = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda} where hh is the Planck constant, cc is the speed of light, and λ\lambda is the wavelength of the incident light.

Given that hc=1240hc = 1240 eV nm, we can calculate the energy of the UV light photons directly.

Substituting hc=1240hc = 1240 eV nm and λ=300\lambda = 300 nm into the equation gives: E=1240eV nm300nm=4.13eVE = \dfrac{1240 \, \text{eV nm}}{300 \, \text{nm}} = 4.13 \, \text{eV} Next, we can calculate the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons using the photoelectric effect equation: Kmax=EϕK_{max} = E - \phi where KmaxK_{max} is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons, EE is the energy of the incident photons, and ϕ\phi is the work function of the metal.

Given E=4.13E = 4.13 eV and the work function ϕ=2.13\phi = 2.13 eV, we have: Kmax=4.13eV2.13eV=2eVK_{max} = 4.13 \, \text{eV} - 2.13 \, \text{eV} = 2 \, \text{eV} The stopping potential (VsV_s) is related to the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons by the equation: Kmax=eVsK_{max} = eV_s where ee is the elementary charge (the charge of an electron), and VsV_s is the stopping potential.

Since e=1e = 1 when using energy in eV and potential in volts, the stopping potential VsV_s can be directly equated to the kinetic energy in eV: Vs=Kmax=2VV_s = K_{max} = 2 \, \text{V} Therefore, the stopping potential is 22 V, which corresponds to Option B.

Q47
An α\alpha particle and a proton are accelerated from rest by a potential difference of 200V. After this, their de Broglie wavelengths are λ\lambdaα\alpha and λ\lambdap respectively. The ratio λpλα{{{{\lambda _p}} \over {{\lambda _\alpha }}}} is :
A 8
B 2.8
C 7.8
D 3.8
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

We know,

qv=p22mqv = {{{p^2}} \over {2m}}
p=2mqv\Rightarrow p = \sqrt {2mqv}

\therefore

λ=h2mqv\lambda = {h \over {\sqrt {2mqv} }}

\therefore

λpλα=2mαqαv2mpqpv{{{\lambda _p}} \over {{\lambda _\alpha }}} = {{\sqrt {2{m_\alpha }{q_\alpha }v} } \over {\sqrt {2{m_p}{q_p}v} }}

A 310310 nmnm
B 400400 nmnm
C 540540 nmnm
D 220220 nmnm
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

For the longest wavelength to emit photo electron

hcλ=ϕλ=hcϕ{{hc} \over \lambda } = \phi \Rightarrow \lambda = {{hc} \over \phi }
λ=6.63×1034×3×10840×1.6×1016=310nm\Rightarrow \lambda = {{6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 3 \times {{10}^8}} \over {40 \times 1.6 \times {{10}^{ - 16}}}} = 310nm

A 41.4 : 1
B (1860)2 : 1
C 1860 : 1
D 43 : 1

Q50
The temperature of an ideal gas in 3-dimensions is 300 K. The corresponding de-Broglie wavelength of the electron approximately at 300 K, is : [me = mass of electron = 9 ×\times 10-31 kg, h = Planck constant = 6.6 ×\times 6.6 ×\times 10-34 Js, kB = Boltzmann constant = 1.38 ×\times 10-23 JK-1]
A 6.26 nm
B 8.46 nm
C 2.26 nm
D 3.25 nm
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Given, Planck's constant, h = 6.6 ×\times 10-34 Js Boltzmann constant, kB = 1.38 ×\times 10-23 J/K Mass of an electron, me = 9 ×\times 10-31 kg Temperature of an ideal gas, T = 300 K As we know that, de-Broglie wavelength,

λ=hmv=h2mE\lambda = {h \over {mv}} = {h \over {\sqrt {2mE} }}

.... (i) Here, E is the kinetic energy,

E=3KBT2E = {{3{K_B}T} \over 2}

Substituting value of E in Eq. (i), we get

λ=h3mKBT\lambda = {h \over {\sqrt {3m{K_B}T} }}

Substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

λ=6.6×10343×9×1031×1.38×1023×300\lambda = {{6.6 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}} \over {\sqrt {3 \times 9 \times {{10}^{ - 31}} \times 1.38 \times {{10}^{ - 23}} \times 300} }}

= 6.26 nm \therefore The corresponding de-Broglie wavelength of an electron approximately at 300 K is 6.26 nm.
