Q 31 :

A metallic surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength λ, the stopping potential is V0. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength 2λ, the stopping potential becomes V04. The threshold wavelength for this metallic surface will be                  [2023]

  • λ4

     

  • 4λ

     

  • 32λ

     

  • 3λ

     

(4)

From the equation of photoelectric effect

eV0=hcλ-ϕ0=hcλ-hcλ0

eV04=hc2λ-hcλ0

14(hcλ-hcλ0)=hc2λ-hcλ0

1λ0-14λ0=12λ-14λ

34λ0=14λλ0=3λ



Q 32 :

The difference between threshold wavelengths for two metal surfaces A and B having work function ϕA=9 eV and ϕB=4.5 eV in nm is: (Given, hc=1242 eV nm   [2023]

  • 264

     

  • 138

     

  • 276

     

  • 540

     

(2)

λA=(12429)=138 nm

λB=(12424.5)=276 nm

λB-λA=138 nm



Q 33 :

Given below are two statements:                                              [2023]

Statement I: Out of microwaves, infrared rays and ultraviolet rays, ultraviolet rays are the most effective for the emission of electrons from a metallic surface.

Statement II: Above the threshold frequency, the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons is inversely proportional to the frequency of the incident light.

In the light of above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • Statement I is true but Statement II is false

     

  • Both Statement I and Statement II are true

     

  • Statement I is false but Statement II is true

     

  • Both Statement I and Statement II are false

     

(1)

UV rays have maximum frequency hence are most effective for emission of electrons from a metallic surface.
