  • 540 and 683

     

  • 450 and 1683

     

(3)              

The candela is the luminous intensity, in a given direction, of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency 540×1012Hz and that has a radiant intensity in that direction of 1683 watt per steradian.

 



Q 2 :

The ionization energy of sodium in kJ mol-1, if electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 242 nm is just sufficient to ionize sodium atom is ________ .      [2024]



(494)               Energy of photon Ep is :

                        Ep=hcλ=6.626×10-34 Js×3×108 ms-1242×10-9 m

                       lonization energy of one atom of sodium

                       =Energy of one photon=6.626×10-34×3×108242×10-9 J

                        Ionization energy of one mol of sodium atoms

                        =6.626×10-34×3×108242×10-9×6.022×1023×11000 kJ

                        =494.65 kJmol-1

 



Q 3 :

Wave number for a radiation having 5800 wavelength is x×10cm-1. The value of x is ____________ . (Integer answer)      [2024]



(1724)           Wave number (ν¯) is reciprocal of wavelength (λ).

                      ν¯=1λ=15800=15800×10-8 cm=1724.138×10cm-1

 



Q 4 :

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R:

Assertion A: In the photoelectric effect, the electrons are ejected from the metal surface as soon as the beam of light of frequency greater than threshold frequency strikes the surface.

Reason R: When the photon of any energy strikes an electron in the atom, transfer of energy from the photon to the electron takes place.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:                 [2023]

  • Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A

     

  • A is correct but R is not correct

     

  • A is not correct but R is correct

     

  • Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

     

(2)

Electron are ejected if light has more frequency than threshold frequency. Photon is energy itself. It is absorbed.

 



Q 5 :

Values of work function (W0) for a few metals are given below:

Metal Li Na K Mg Cu Ag
W0/eV 2.42 2.3 2.25 3.7 4.8 4.3


The number of metals which will show photoelectric effect when light of wavelength 400 nm falls on it is ________ .

Given:  h=6.6×10-34J s

c=3×108m s-1

e=1.6×10-19C                                                 [2023]



(3)

The energy of photon (E)=hcλ

Given, λ=400nm

E=6.6×10-34×3×108400×10-9

E(in eV)=6.6×10-34×3×108400×10-9×1.6×10-19eV=3.1 eV

The metals Li, Na, K have a work function less than the energy of a photon. So in presence of light with wavelength 400 nm, they exhibit photoelectric effect.
