11.11 Wavelength of the light produced by Argon laser, $λ$ = 488 nm = 488 $\times 10^{- 9}$ m

Stopping potential of the photoelectrons, $V_{0}$ = 0.38 V = $\frac{0.38}{1.6 \times 10^{- 19}}$ $e V$

Planck’s constant, h = 6.626 $\times 10^{- 34}$ Js

Charge of an electron, e = 1.6 $\times 10^{- 19}$ C

Speed of the light, c = 3 $\times 10^{8}$ m/s

From Einstein’s photoelectric effect, we have the relation involving the work function $\emptyset_{0}$ of the material of the emitter as:

$e V_{0} = \frac{h c}{λ} - \emptyset_{0}$

$\emptyset_{0} = \frac{h c}{λ} - e V_{0}$ = $\frac{6.626 \times 10^{- 34} \times 3 \times 10^{8}}{488 \times 10^{- 9} \times 1.6 \times 10^{- 19}}$ $-$ 1.6 $\times 10^{- 19} \times \frac{0.38}{1.6 \times 10^{- 19}}$ = 2.54 – 0.38 = 2.165 eV

Therefore,, the material with which the emitter is made has the work function of 2.165 eV.

Based on theory

Radiation from hydrogen gas excited to first excited state is used for illuminating certain metallic plate. When the same plate is exposed to the radiation from some unknown hydrogen like gas excited to the same level it is found that de-Broglie wavelength of fastest photoelectron has decreased by 2.3 times. It is given that energy corresponding to longest wavelength of Lyman series of the unknown gas is 3 times the ionization energy of hydrogen gas (13.6eV). The work function (in eV) of the metallic plate is ______. [Take (2.3)² = 5.25]

Vishal Baghel

z² × (13.6) (1 - ¼) = 3 × (13.6)
z = 2 . (i)
h/√2mk? = (1/2.3) × h/√2mk?
=> k? = (2.3)²k? = 5.25k? (ii)
Now, k? = E? - Φ
k? = E? - Φ = z²E? - Φ
∴ k? /k? = (10.2 - Φ)/ (4 × 10.2 - Φ) = 1/5.25
=> Φ = 3eV

A metal exposed to light of wavelength 800nm and emits photoelectrons with a certain kinetic energy. The maximum kinetic energy of photo-electron doubles when light of wavelength 500nm is used. The work function of the metal is: (Take hc = 1230 eV –nm).

$_{} \frac{}{}$ $K . E_{1} = \frac{1230}{800} - ?$ - (i)

$_{}_{} \frac{}{}$ $K . E_{2} = 2 K . E_{1} = \frac{1230}{500} - ?$ - (ii)

from (i) & (ii)

$? = 0.615$ ev

When light of frequency twice the threshold frequency is incident on the metal plate, the maximum velocity of emitted electron is $υ_{1} .$ When the frequency of incident radiation is increased to five times the threshold value, the maximum velocity of emitted electron becomes $υ_{2} .$ If $υ_{2} = x υ_{1},$ the value of x will be __________.

Vishal Baghel

hu = hu₀ + K.E

Cases u = 2u₀

h2u₀ = hu₀ + K.E₁

K.E₁ = hu₀

$\frac{1}{2} m v_{1}^{2} = h υ_{0}$

$v_{1}^{2} = \frac{2 h υ_{0}}{m}$

$v_{1} = \sqrt[]{\frac{2 h υ_{0}}{m}}$ - (1)

Now, cases 2

h 5u₀ = hu₀ + k.E₂

k.E₂ = 4hu₀

$\frac{1}{2} m v_{2}^{2} = 4 h υ_{0}$

v₂ = $\sqrt[]{\frac{8 h υ_{0}}{m}}$ - (2)

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \sqrt[]{\frac{8}{2} = 2}$

v₂ = 2v₁

Kindly consider the following

$f (x) = {\begin{matrix} \frac{2 x^{2} - 3 x + 2}{x - 2}, & x \neq 2 \\ 5, & x = 2 \end{matrix}$
