Photoelectric emission occurs only when the incident light has more than a certain minimum
By the concept of threshold minimum frequency needed for photoelectric emission.
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
We have
So,
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:
Energy of incident light E(eV)=
=6.2eV (200 nm= 2000)
According to the relation E= + e
=
=
=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
Here
Power=

The number of photoelectrons emitted for light of a frequency v (higher than the threshold frequency ) is proportional to
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
According to laws of photoelectric effect
where is work function and is maximum kinetic energy of photoelectron.
or
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 . The velocity of the particle is
Wavelength of a particle is given by
where h is Planck's constant and wavelength of an electron is given by
but
so, p=

putting the under given data
Cathode rays are similar to visible light rays in that
(d) Light consists of photons and cathode rays consists of electrons. However both effect the photographic plate.
