Explanation

(d) 

hv-W0=12mvmax2hcλ-hcλ0=12mvmax2hcλ0-λλλ0=12mvmax2vmax=2hcmλ0-λλλ0    

When wavelength is λ and velocity is v, then 

v=2hcmλ0-λλ0λ               .....(i) 

When wavelength is 3λ4 and velocity is v', then 

v'=2hcmλ0-3λ/4λ0×3λ/4      .....(ii) 

Divide equation (ii) by (i), we get

v'v=λ0-3λ/434λλ0×λλ0λ0-λv'=v431/2λ0-3λ/4λ0-λ    i.e. v'>v431/2

Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies v1 and v2 of the incident light rays v1>v2. If the maximum values of kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio of 1:k, then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is

Explanation

(b) By using hv-hv0=Kmax

hv1-v0=K1                        .....(i) 

And hv2-v0=K2                 .....(ii)

v1-v0v2-v0=K1K2=1K, Hence v0=Kv1-v2K-1

The ratio of de-Broglie wavelengths of molecules of hydrogen and helium which are at temperature 27 °C and 127 °C respectively is

Explanation

(b) The momentum of the incident radiation is given as p=hλ. When the light is totally reflected normal to the surface the direction of the ray is reversed. That means it reverses the direction of it’s momentum without changing it’s magnitude
p=2p=2hλ=2×6.6×10-346630×10-10=2×10-27  kg-m/sec.

The ratio of de-Broglie wavelength of a α-particle to that of a proton being subjected to the same magnetic field so that the radii of their path are equal to each other assuming the field induction vector B is perpendicular to the velocity vectors of the α-particle and the proton is

(b)

Cutoff wavelength (in Ao)= 12375ϕ (in eV)  = 2578  Ao

Photoelectric emission is possible with λ1 only. Maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons K = E – W0 = 5 – 4.8 = 0.2 eV.
Photo electrons experience magnetic force and move along a circular path of radius

Assertion : The energy (E) and momentum (p) of a photon are related by p=E/c .
Reason : The photon behaves like a particle.

Explanation

(a) Momentum of a photon is given by p=hλ
Also the photon is a form of energy packets behaves as a particle having energy E=hcλ. So p=Ec

Assertion : Photoelectric effect demonstrates the wave nature of light.
Reason : The number of photoelectrons is proportional to the frequency of light.

Explanation

(d) Photoelectric effect demonstrates the particle nature of light. Number of emitted photoelectrons depends upon the intensity of light.

Assertion : When the speed of an electron increases its specific charge decreases.
Reason : Specific charge is the ratio of the charge to mass.

Explanation

(b) Charge does not change with speed but mass varies with the speed as per relation m=m01-v2c2. Hence specific charge e/m decreases with increase in speed.

Assertion : Mass of moving photon varies inversely as the wavelength.
Reason : Energy of the particle  = Mass×speed of light2
