A 10-2 nm
B 10-1 nm
C 10-3 nm
D 10-4 nm
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Given, V = 1.24 million volt = 1.24 ×\times 106 volt Since, energy (E) = eV where, e is the charge of electron = 1.6 ×\times 10-19 C \therefore E = 1.6 ×\times 10-19 ×\times 1.24 ×\times 106 ..... (i) As we know that, Energy of photon,

E=hcλE = {{hc} \over \lambda }

.... (ii) Here, Planck's constant, h = 6.67 ×\times 10-34 J-s, c = speed of light in free space, c = 3 ×\times 108 ms-1 Equating Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

1.6×1019×1.24×106=6.67×1034×3×108λ1.6 \times {10^{ - 19}} \times 1.24 \times {10^6} = {{6.67 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 3 \times {{10}^8}} \over \lambda }
λ=20.01×10131.6×1.24=10.09×1013\Rightarrow \lambda = {{20.01 \times {{10}^{ - 13}}} \over {1.6 \times 1.24}} = 10.09 \times {10^{ - 13}}
=1.009×1012103×109= 1.009 \times {10^{ - 12}} \simeq {10^{ - 3}} \times {10^{ - 9}}

= 10-3 nm

me5×1.874×104{{{m_e}} \over {5 \times 1.874 \times {{10}^{ - 4}}}}

=

9.1×10315×1.874×104{{9.1 \times {{10}^{ - 31}}} \over {5 \times 1.874 \times {{10}^{ - 4}}}}

= 9.7 ×\times 10–28 kg

A increases by a factor of 44
B decreases by a factor of 44
C increases by a factor of 22
D decreases by a factor of 22
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution
I1r2;I1I2=(r2r1)2=14I \propto {1 \over {{r^2}}};{{{I_1}} \over {{I_2}}} = {\left( {{{{r_2}} \over {{r_1}}}} \right)^2} = {1 \over 4}
I24{I_2} \to 4\,\,

times

I1{I_1}

When intensity becomes 4 times, no. of photoelectrons emitted would increase by

44

times, since number of electrons emitted per second is directly proportional to intensity.

Q67
The threshold frequency of a metal with work function 6.63 eV6.63 \mathrm{~eV} is :
A 16×1015 Hz16 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~Hz}
B 16×1012 Hz16 \times 10^{12} \mathrm{~Hz}
C 1.6×1015 Hz1.6 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~Hz}
D 1.6×1012 Hz1.6 \times 10^{12} \mathrm{~Hz}
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

The threshold frequency,

ν0\nu_0

, corresponds to the minimum frequency of light required to eject electrons from the surface of a metal, a phenomenon known as the photoelectric effect.

The work function, represented by ϕ\phi, is the minimum energy needed to remove an electron from the surface of the metal.

The energy of a photon is given by the equation

E=hνE = h\nu

, where:

EE

is the energy of the photon,

hh

is Planck's constant (

h=6.626×1034Jsh = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J} \cdot \text{s}

), and ν\nu is the frequency of the photon. To find the threshold frequency for a metal with a work function of

6.63eV6.63 \, \text{eV}

, we must first express the work function in joules (since Planck's constant is in joules per second).

To convert electron volts to joules, use the conversion factor

1eV=1.602×1019J1 \, \text{eV} = 1.602 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J}

:

ϕ=6.63eV×1.602×1019JeV=1.061×1018J\phi = 6.63 \, \text{eV} \times 1.602 \times 10^{-19} \, \frac{\text{J}}{\text{eV}} = 1.061 \times 10^{-18} \, \text{J}

The energy of the photon at the threshold frequency is equal to the work function:

hν0=ϕh\nu_0 = \phi

Solve for

ν0\nu_0

:

ν0=ϕh=1.061×1018J6.626×1034Js=1.6×1015Hz\nu_0 = \frac{\phi}{h} = \frac{1.061 \times 10^{-18} \, \text{J}}{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J} \cdot \text{s}} = 1.6 \times 10^{15} \, \text{Hz}

Thus, the correct answer is: Option C

1.6×1015Hz1.6 \times 10^{15} \, \text{Hz}
Q68

A Metal B will not emit photo-electrons
B Both metals A\mathrm{A} and B\mathrm{B} will not emit photo-electrons
C Metal A will not emit photo-electrons
D Both metals A and B will emit photo-electrons
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution
ϕ=hcλ=1240350eV=3.54eV\phi=\frac{h c}{\lambda}=\frac{1240}{350} \mathrm{eV}=3.54 \mathrm{eV}

\therefore Only metal B will emit photoelectron.

Q69
A monochromatic light is incident on a metallic plate having work function ϕ\phi. An electron, emitted normally to the plate from a point A with maximum kinetic energy, enters a constant magnetic field, perpendicular to the initial velocity of electron. The electron passes through a curve and hits back the plate at a point BB. The distance between AA and BB is : (Given : The magnitude of charge of an electron is e and mass is m,h\mathrm{m}, \mathrm{h} is Planck's constant and c is velocity of light. Take the magnetic field exists throughout the path of electron)
A 2m(hcλϕ)/eB\sqrt{2 m\left(\dfrac{h c}{\lambda}-\phi\right)} / \mathrm{eB}
B 8 m(hcλϕ)/eB\sqrt{8 \mathrm{~m}\left(\dfrac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda}-\phi\right)} / \mathrm{eB}
C m(hc/λϕ)/eB\sqrt{\mathrm{m}(\mathrm{hc} / \lambda-\phi)} / \mathrm{eB}
D 2 m(hc/λϕ)/eB2 \sqrt{\mathrm{~m}(\mathrm{hc} / \lambda-\phi)} / \mathrm{eB}
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

To determine the distance between points AA and BB (where the electron re-enters the metallic plate), we first need to understand the electron's behavior in a magnetic field.

Maximum Kinetic Energy (KE): The energy of the emitted electron can be given by the photoelectric equation: KEmax=hcλϕ \text{KE}_{\max} = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi Here, hcλ\dfrac{hc}{\lambda} is the energy of the incident photons, and ϕ\phi is the work function of the metal.

Momentum (p): The momentum of the electron is related to its kinetic energy by the equation: p=2mKEmax=2m(hcλϕ) p = \sqrt{2m \cdot \text{KE}_{\max}} = \sqrt{2m\left(\dfrac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi\right)} Path of Electron in Magnetic Field: When an electron moves perpendicularly through a magnetic field, it follows a circular path.

The radius RR of this path is given by: R=peB R = \dfrac{p}{eB} where ee is the charge of the electron, and BB is the magnetic field strength.

Distance Between AA and BB: Since the electron travels back to the plate, forming a complete semicircle, the distance between points AA and BB is twice the radius of this circular path: dAB=2R=2(peB) d_{A-B} = 2R = 2\left(\dfrac{p}{eB}\right) Substituting the expression for momentum, we find: dAB=22m(hcλϕ)eB=8m(hcλϕ)eB d_{A-B} = \dfrac{2 \sqrt{2m\left(\dfrac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi\right)}}{eB} = \dfrac{\sqrt{8m\left(\dfrac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi\right)}}{eB} Therefore, the distance between AA and BB is 8m(hcλϕ)eB\dfrac{\sqrt{8m(\dfrac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi)}}{eB}.
