Explanation

(c)

E=hcλ-W0 and 2E=hcλ'-W0λ'λ=E+W02E+W0λ'=λ1+W0/E2+W0/ESince  1+W0/E2+W0/E>12  so λ'>λ2

If in a photoelectric experiment, the wavelength of incident radiation is reduced from 6000 Å to 4000 Å then

Explanation

(b) Stopping potential V0=hce1λ-1λ0. As λ decreases so V0 increases.

The photoelectric work function for a metal surface is 4.125 eV. The cut-off wavelength for this surface is

Explanation

(c) WeV=12375λ0A0λ0=123754.125=3000 A0

As the intensity of incident light increases

Explanation

(a) Intensity increases means more photons of same energy will emit more electrons of same energy, hence only photoelectric current increases.

Which of the following is dependent on the intensity of incident radiation in a photoelectric experiment

Explanation

Amount of photo electric current depends on the intensity of incident radiation.

The work function of a substance is 4.0 eV. The longest wavelength of light that can cause photoelectron emission from this substance is approximately

Explanation

(c) λ0=hcW0=124004=3100 A0=310 nm

The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from a surface when photons of energy 6 eV fall on it is 4 eV. The stopping potential in volts is

Explanation

(b) Kmax=VseVVs=4V

Work function of a metal is 2.1 eV. Which of the waves of the following wavelengths will be able to emit photoelectrons from its surface ?

Explanation

(d) 

Cutoff -wavelength λ0=123752.1=5892.8 A0

The cathode of a photoelectric cell is changed such that the work function changes from W1 to W2 W2>W1. If the current before and after the change are I1 and I2, all other conditions remaining unchanged, then (assuming >W2) :

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

(a) The work function has no effect on current so long as >W0 . The photoelectric current is proportional to the intensity of light. Since there is no change in the intensity of light, therefore I1= I2.

A beam of light of wavelength λ and with illumination L falls on a clean surface of sodium. If N photoelectrons are emitted each with kinetic energy E, then

Explanation

(b) Number of photons emitted is proportional to the intensity. Also hcλ=W0+E
