The de-Brogile wavelength of a neutron in thermal equilibrium with heavy water at a temperature T (Kelvin) and mass m, is 

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

(b) Thinking Processs de-Brogile wavelength associated with a moving particle can be given as 

 λ=hp=h2m(K.E)

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 

              KE=p22m

    where, p=momentum of the particle 

 m=mass of the particle

Kinetic energy of the neutron is 

     KE=32kT

 ∴ de-Brogile wavelength of the neutron 

      λ=hp=h2m(K.E)

   =h2m×32kT=h3mkT

Electrons of mass m with de-Broglie wavelength λ fall on the target in an X-ray tube. The cut off wavelength λ0 of the emitted X-ray is -

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

 

(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=λ

So, kinetic energy, of electron = p22m

                                        =12mhλ2=h22mλ2

Now, the maximum energy of a photon can be given by-

E=hcλ0=h22mλ2⇒λ0=hc×2λ2mh2        = 2mcλ2h

When a metallic surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength λ, the stopping potential is V. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength 2λ, the stopping potential is V4 .The threshold wavelength for metallic surface is:

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

 

(c) In Ist case, when a metallic surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength λ, the stopping potential is V.

So, photoelectric equation can be written as

              eV=hcλ-hcλο                        ...(i)

In IInd Case, when the same surface is illuminated with radition of wavelength 2λ, the stopping potential is V4 So, photoelectric equation can be written as

                        eV4=hc2λ-hcλ0

⇒                eV=4hc2λ-4hcλ0                    ...(ii)

From eqs, (i) and (ii) we get

⇒              hcλ-hcλ0=4hc2λ-4hcλο⇒              1λ-1λο=  2λ-  4λο⇒                 λ0=3λ
