Explanation

By the concept of threshold minimum frequency needed for photoelectric emission.

  12mv2=h(v-v0)      vv0

Electrons used in an electron microscope are accelerated by a voltage of 25 kV. If the voltage is increased to 100 kV then the de-Broglie wavelength associated with the electrons would

Explanation

We have

            λ=12.27V

So,        λ1λ2=V2V1λ2=λ1V1V2λ2=λ125100λ2=λ114=λ12

The potential difference that must be applied to stop the fastest photoelectrons emitted by a nickel surface, having work function 5.01 eV, when ultraviolet light of 200nm falls on it, must be:

Explanation

Energy of incident light E(eV)=123752000

=6.2eV (200 nm= 2000A)

According to the relation Ew + eV

        V=E-We

                =(6.2-5.01)ee

               =1.2 V

Stopping potential is negative, so answer is -1.2 V

Monochromatic light of wavelength 667 nm is produced by a helium neon laser. The power emitted is 9mW. The number of photons arriving per second on the average at a target irradiated by this beam is

Explanation

Here λ=667×10-9m, P=9×10-3W

Power=energytime

        =nhcλt

       =Nhcλ

where N is number of photons emitted per sec.

      N=P×λhc

            =9×10-3×667×10-96.6×10-34×3×108

           =3×1016/s

The number of photoelectrons emitted for light of a frequency v (higher than the threshold frequency v0) is proportional to

Explanation

The number of photoelectrons emitted is directly proportional to the intensity of light.

The work function of a surface of a photosensitive material is 6.2 eV. The wavelength of the incident radiation for which the stopping potential is 5V lies in the

Explanation

According to laws of photoelectric effect

            KEmax=E-ϕ

where ϕ is work function and KEmax is maximum kinetic energy of photoelectron.

                       hv=eV0+ϕ

or     v=5 eV +6.2 eV =11.2eV

           λ=1240011.2A01000 A0

Hence, the radiation lies in ultraviolet region.

 

A particle of mass 1 mg has the same wavelength as an electron moving with a velocity of 3×106 ms-1. The velocity of the particle is 

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

 

Wavelength of a particle is given by 

                  λ=hp

where h is Planck's constant and wavelength of an electron is given by 

                         λe=hpe

but                 λ=λe

so,               p=pe

or                mv=meve

or           v=mevem

putting the under given data 

me=9.1×10-31 kg , ve=3×106 m/s;m=1 mg =1 ×10-6 kg v=9.1×10-31×3×1061×10-6=2.7×10-18  ms-1

Cathode rays are similar to visible light rays in that
