11.20 (a) Estimate the speed with which electrons emitted from a heated emitter of an evacuated tube impinge on the collector maintained at a potential difference of 500 V with respect to the emitter. Ignore the small initial speeds of the electrons. The specific charge of the electron, i.e., its e/m is given to be 1.76 × 1011 C kg–1.

(b) Use the same formula you employ in (a) to obtain electron speed for a collector potential of 10 MV. Do you see what is wrong ? In what way is the formula to be modified?

    11.20 Potential difference across evacuated tube, V = 500 V

    Specific charge of electron, e/m = 1.76 ×1011 C/kg

    The speed of each emitted electron is given by the relation of kinetic energy as

    Ekinetic = 12mv2 = eV

    v=2eVm = 2Vem = 2×500×1.76×1011 = 13.27 ×106 m/s

    Therefore, the speed of each emitted electron is 13.27 ×106 m/s

    Collector potential, V = 10 MV = 10 ×106 V

    The speed is given by v=2eVm =2Vem = 2×10×106×1.76×1011 = 1.876 ×109 m/s

    This is not possible nothing can move faster than the light. In the above formula

    Ekinetic = 12mv2 can only be used in the non-relativistic limit, i.e. v << c

    For very high speed problems

Now, k? = E? - Φ
k? = E? - Φ = z²E? - Φ
∴ k? /k? = (10.2 - Φ)/ (4 × 10.2 - Φ) = 1/5.25

hu = hu0 + K.E

Cases u = 2u0

h2u0 = hu0 + K.E1

K.E1 = hu0

1 2 m v 1 2 = h υ 0

v 1 2 = 2 h υ 0 m  

v 1 = 2 h υ 0 m - (1)      

Now, cases 2

h 5u0 = hu0 + k.E2

k.E2 = 4hu0

1 2 m v 2 2 = 4 h υ 0

v2 =     8 h υ 0 m   - (2)

v 2 v 1 = 8 2 = 2          

v2 = 2v1
