Detailed Solution for Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 11

Photoelectric effect, phenomenon in which electrically charged particles are released from or within a material when it absorbs electromagnetic radiation. The effect is often defined as the ejection of electrons from a metal plate when light falls on it. In a broader definition, the radiant energy may be infrared, visible, or ultraviolet light, X-rays, or gamma rays; the material may be a solid, liquid, or gas; and the released particles may be ions (electrically charged atoms or molecules) as well as electrons.

Photoelectric cell or photocell, device whose electrical characteristics (e.g., current, voltage, or resistance) vary when light is incident upon it. The most common type consists of two electrodes separated by a light-sensitive semiconductor material.
The photoelectric effect is the observation that many metals emit electrons when light shines upon them. Electrons emitted in this manner can be called photoelectrons.

Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 20

A photon is

Detailed Solution for Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 20

A particle representing a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation. A photon carries energy proportional to the radiation frequency but has zero rest mass.

Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 21

If maximum velocity with which an electron can be emitted from a photo cell is 3.75×108cms−1 then stopping potential is

Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 22

In an experiment of photoelectric emission for incident light of 4000 Â, the stopping potential is 2V. If the wavelength of incident light is made 3000 Â, then stopping potential will be

Detailed Solution for Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 22

The maximum kinetic energy for the photoelectrons is 
Emax​=hν−ϕ
where, ν is the frequency of incident light and ϕ is photoelectric work function of metal.
If Vo​ is the stopping potential then
eV0​=h(c/λ)​−ϕ .....................(since, ν=c/λ​)
As per the problem, for incident light of 4000Ao, the stopping potential is 2V. When the wavelength of incident light is reduced to 3000Ao, then the stopping potential will increase to value more than 2V(as per the above equation).

Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 23

In the above experimental set up for studying photoelectric effect, if keeping the frequency of the incident radiation and the accelerating potential fixed, the intensity of light is varied, then

 

Detailed Solution for Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 23

The number of electrons emitted per second is observed to be directly proportional to the intensity of light. “Ok, so light is a wave and has energy. It takes electrons out of a metal, what is so special about that!” First of all, when the intensity of light is increased, we should see an increase in the photocurrent (number of photoelectrons emitted). Right?
As we see, this only happens above a specific value of frequency, known as the threshold frequency. Below this threshold frequency, the intensity of light has no effect on the photocurrent! In fact, there is no photocurrent at all, however high the intensity of light is.

The graph between the photoelectric current and the intensity of light is a straight line when the frequency of light used is above a specific minimum threshold value.

Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 24

Photo-electric effect can be explained only by assuming that light

Detailed Solution for Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 24

Photoelectric effect can be explained by assuming light consisting of quanta that when a photon of certain energy falls on the surface of metal, then the metal surface starts to emit an electron known as photo electrons.

Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 25

Wavelength of light incident on a photo cell is 3000 Â, if stopping potential is 2.5 volts, then work function of the cathode of photo cell is

Detailed Solution for Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 25

The Stopping potential =2.5V.
or, Kinetic energy=2.5eV.
We know that,
Incident energy =work function + Kinetic energy.
To get incident energy in e.V,
We also know that,
The Incident energy =12400/λ Å
Incident energy=work function + kinetic energy.
12400/3000 = work function + 2.5e.v.
4.13-2.5 = work function
work function=1.64 e.V

Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 26

in photoelectric effect, the photoelectric current

Detailed Solution for Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 26

When intensity of incident photons increases, the number of electrons emitted from the surface increases due to which current increases. Frequency of incident photons only limits the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron emitted and so the current is independent of frequency of photon.

Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 27

In various experiments on photo electricity the stopping potential for a given frequency of the incident radiation

Detailed Solution for Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 27

Photoelectric current is zero when the stopping potential is sufficient to repel even the most energetic photoelectrons with the maximum kinetic energy Kmax​ so that Kmax​=eV0​
For a given frequency of the incident radiation, the stopping potential is independent of its intensity.

Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 28

In order to increase the kinetic energy of ejected photoelectrons, there should be an increase in

Detailed Solution for Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 28

Relation between kinetic energy and frequency is K.E+ϕ=hν.
Here h is planck's constant, ϕ=constant (Work function)
According to the above equation of photoelectric effect, as we increase frequency of photon, kinetic energy of photoelectron increases. Because the frequency of incident light is directly proportional to kinetic energy.
Hence option C is correct.
 

Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 29

Each photon has the same speed but different

Detailed Solution for Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 29

A photon is a particle of light which essentially is a packet of electromagnetic radiation. The energy of the photon depends on its frequency (how fast the electric field and magnetic field wiggle). The higher the frequency, the more energy the photon has. Of course, a beam of light has many photons. This means that really intense red light (lots of photons, with slightly lower energy) can carry more power to a given area than less intense blue light (fewer photons with higher energy).
 The speed of light (c) in a vacuum is constant. This means more energetic (high frequency) photons like X-rays and gamma rays travel at exactly the same speed as lower energy (low frequency) photons, like those in the infrared. As the frequency of a photon goes up, the wavelength goes down, and as the frequency goes down, the wavelength increases.
 

Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 30

Number of ejected photoelectrons increases with increase

Detailed Solution for Test: Dual Nature of Radiation & Matter - 1 - Question 30

The number of electrons ejected can be measured as a function of intensity.
Intensity is equal to energy per unit time per unit area.
Keeping frequency constant, increasing intensity will increase energy thus increase of ejected electrons.
Thus,
Number of ejected photoelectrons will increase with increase in intensity of light.
