(i) In the explanation of photoeletric effect, we assume one photon of frequency v collides with an electron and transfers its energy. This leads . to the equation for the maximum energy Emaxof the emitted electron as Emax = hv – ɸ0 where ɸ0 is the work function of the metal. If an electron absorbs 2 photons (each of frequency v), what will be the maximum energy for the emitted electron?

Explanation- (i) Here it is given that, an electron absorbs 2 photons each of frequency ν then ν where, v′ is the frequency of emitted electron.

Given, E_max= hv- $?_{0}$

Now, maximum energy for emitted electrons is E_max= h2v- $?_{0} = 2 h v - ?_{0}$

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

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

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