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=h22mλ2λ0=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:

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    

Light of wavelength 500 nm is incident on a metal with work function 2.28 eV. The de-Broglie wavelength of the emitted electron is

Explanation

(c)

As energy of photon,E=hv
E=hc/λ
E (in eV) =12375λ (in Ao) = 2.48 eV

According to Einstein's photoelectric emission,we have

KEmax=E-W=2.48-2.28=0.2eV

For de-Broglie wavelength of the emitted electron.

λe min=12.27/√KEmax(eV)

=12.27/√0.2

=27.436Å

=27.436x10-10 m
