Assertion : The specific charge of positive rays is not constant.
Reason : The mass of ions varies with speed.

Explanation

(b) The specific charge (e/m)  of the positive rays is not universal constant because these rays may consists of ions of different element.

Assertion : Photosensitivity of a metal is high if its work function is small.
Reason : Work function = hf0 where f0 is the threshold frequency

Explanation

(b) Less work function means less energy is required for ejecting out the electrons.

Assertion : The specific charge for positive rays is a characteristic constant.
Reason : The specific charge depends on charge and mass of positive ions present in positive rays.

Explanation

(b) Specific charge of a positive ion corresponding to one gas is fixed but it is different for different gases.

Assertion : In photoelectric effect, on increasing the intensity of light, both the number of electrons emitted and kinetic energy of each of them get increased but photoelectric current remains unchanged.
Reason : The photoelectric current depends only on wavelength of light.

Explanation

(d) On increasing the intensity of incident light, the current in photoelectric cell will increase. The energy of the photons (hv) will, however not increase with increase in intensity, and hence the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons will not increase.

Assertion : In photoemissive cell inert gas is used.
Reason : Inert gas in the photoemissive cell gives greater current.

Explanation

(a) The photoemissive cell may be evacuated contain an inert gas at low pressure. An inert gas in the cell gives greater current but causes a time lag in the response of the cell to very rapid changes of radiation which may make it unsuitable for some purpose.

A plane electromagnetic wave of wave intensity 6 W/m2 strikes a small mirror of area 30 cm2, held perpendicular to the approaching wave. The momentum transferred in kg ms-1 by the wave to the mirror each second will be

Explanation

The momentum transferred per second = Force (F)

F=2IAC For perfectly reflecting surface  =2×6×30×10-43×108  =1.2×10-10 N

ke2r2=mv2r 12 mv2=ke22r

Whenever a hydrogen atom emits a photon in the Balmer series:

Explanation

When hydrogen atom emits a photon in the Balmer series, electron transition occurs from n = 3, n = 4..... etc to n = 2. The electron transition from n = 2 to n = 1 also may take place. Therefore, it must emit a photon in Lyman series.

The ionisation potential of hydrogen atom is

Explanation

En=-13.6n2eV; E1=-13.6 eV

To remove electron from n = 1 to n = , 13.6 volt Potential (ionisation potential) is needed.

Which source is associated with a line emission spectrum? 

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

In line emission spectrum, every line spectrum consists of a few isolated bright lines, each bright line corresponds to a particular wavelength. It is emitted by atoms in the gaseous state.

e.g a sodium discharge lamp, a mercury vapour lamp, a neon discharge tube and a helium discharge tube all emit sharp lines of definite wavelength.
