Vedclass · Answer

(A) The energy of the incident photon is given by $E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} = \frac{12400}{\lambda(	ext{in } \mathring{A})} \, eV$.Substituting $\lambda = 2500\, \mathring{A}$,we get $E = \frac{12400}{2500} = 4.96\, eV$.The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons is $K_{max} = E - \Phi$,where $\Phi = 4.47\, eV$ is the work function.$K_{max} = 4.96 - 4.47 = 0.49\, eV$.As the ball emits electrons,it becomes positively charged,creating a potential $V$ that stops further emission. The stopping potential $V$ is equal to $K_{max}/e$,so $V = 0.49\, V$.The potential of a charged sphere is $V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \frac{Q}{r} = k \frac{Q}{r}$,where $k = 9 	imes 10^9\, N\cdot m^2/C^2$ and $r = 0.01\, m$.$0.49 = \frac{9 	imes 10^9 	imes Q}{0.01}$.$Q = \frac{0.49 	imes 0.01}{9 	imes 10^9} = \frac{0.0049}{9 	imes 10^9} \approx 5.44 	imes 10^{-13}\, C$.Rounding to the nearest option,$Q = 5.5 	imes 10^{-13}\, C$.

Radiation of wavelength $300 \ nm$ and intensity $100 \ W \ m^{-2}$ falls on the surface of a photosensitive material. If $2 \%$ of the incident photons produce photoelectrons,the number of photoelectrons emitted from an area of $2 \ cm^2$ of the surface per second is nearly:

Find the number of electrons emitted per second by a $24 \, W$ source of monochromatic light of wavelength $6600 \, \mathring{A}$, assuming $3 \%$ efficiency for the photoelectric effect (take $h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \, J \cdot s$ and $c = 3 \times 10^8 \, m/s$).

Light of wavelength '$\lambda$' which is less than threshold wavelength is incident on a photosensitive material. If incident wavelength is decreased so that emitted photoelectrons are moving with some velocity, then the stopping potential:

If light of wavelength $\lambda_1$ is allowed to fall on a metal,then the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted is $E_1$. If the wavelength of light changes to $\lambda_2$,then the kinetic energy of the electrons changes to $E_2$. Then the work function of the metal is:
