When the light of wavelength is made to fall on metal in a photoelectric experiment, the maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons is found to be 2.5eV. The work function of the metal is:
If the momentum of a photon is p, then its energy is :
For non-relativistic speeds, the wavelength associated with an electron and its kinetic energy E are related as:
An electron at rest is acceleration by a potential difference of 600V. The de-Broglie wavelength associated with the electron is:
The de-Broglie wavelength of a body of mass 1 kg moving with a velocity of 2000 m/s is
A particle of mass M at rest decays into two particles of
masses having non-zero velocities.
The ratio of de-Broglie wavelength is:
The de-Brogile wavelength of a neutron in thermal equilibrium with heavy water at a temperature T (Kelvin) and mass m, is
(b) Thinking Processs de-Brogile wavelength associated with a moving particle can be given as
At thermal equilibrium,temperature of neutron and heavy water will be same. This common temperature is given as, T. Also, we know that, kinetic energy of a particle
where, p=momentum of the particle
m=mass of the particle
Kinetic energy of the neutron is
de-Brogile wavelength of the neutron
Electrons of mass m with de-Broglie wavelength fall on the target in an X-ray tube. The cut off wavelength of the emitted X-ray is -
(a) Key idea
Cut-off wavelength occurs when an incoming electron loses its complete energy in the collision. This energy appears in the form of X-rays.
Given, the mass of electrons=m
de-Broglie wavelength=
So, kinetic energy, of electron =
Now, the maximum energy of a photon can be given by-
When a metallic surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength , the stopping potential is V. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength 2, the stopping potential is .The threshold wavelength for metallic surface is:
(c) In Ist case, when a metallic surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength , the stopping potential is V.
So, photoelectric equation can be written as
eV= ...(i)
In IInd Case, when the same surface is illuminated with radition of wavelength 2, the stopping potential is So, photoelectric equation can be written as
...(ii)
From eqs, (i) and (ii) we get
