11.23 Wavelength produced by X-ray, $λ =$ 0.45 Å = 0.45 $\times 10^{- 10}$ m

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

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

The maximum energy of a photon is given as:

$E$ = $\frac{h c}{λ}$ = $\frac{6.626 \times 10^{- 34} \times 3 \times 10^{8}}{0.45 \times 10^{- 10}}$ = 4.417 $\times 10^{- 15}$ J = $\frac{4.417 \times 10^{- 15}}{1.6 \times 10^{19}}$ eV = 27.6 $\times 10^{3}$ eV = 27.6 keV

Therefore, the maximum energy of an X-ray photon is 27.6 keV

To get an X-ray of 27.6 keV, the incident electrons must possess at least 27.6 keV of kinetic energy. Hence an accelerating voltage in the order of 30 keV will be required.

Given below are two statements:

Statement I : Davission-Germer experiment establishes, the wave nature of electrons.

Statement II : If electrons have wave nature, they can interfere and show diffraction.

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

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).

Vishal Baghel

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

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