A photographic film is coated with a silver bromide layer. When light falls on this film, silver bromide molecules dissociate and the film records the light there. A minimum of 0.6 eV is needed to dissociate a silver bromide molecule. Find the maximum wavelength of light that can be recorded by the film.

उत्तर
Given:-
Work function, `W_0` = 0.6 eV
Now, work function,
`W_0 = (hc)/λ`,
where, h = Planck's constant
λ = wavelength of light
c = speed of light
`therefore λ = (hc)/(W_0)`
`= (6.63 xx 10^-34 xx 3 xx 10^8)/(0.6 xx 1.6 xx 10^-19)`
`= 20.71 xx 10^-7 "m"`
`= 2071 "nm"`

The threshold frequency for a certain metal is 3.3 × 1014 Hz. If light of frequency 8.2 × 1014 Hz is incident on the metal, predict the cut-off voltage for the photoelectric emission.
An electron gun with its collector at a potential of 100 V fires out electrons in a spherical bulb containing hydrogen gas at low pressure (∼10−2 mm of Hg). A magnetic field of 2.83 × 10−4 T curves the path of the electrons in a circular orbit of radius 12.0 cm. (The path can be viewed because the gas ions in the path focus the beam by attracting electrons, and emitting light by electron capture; this method is known as the ‘fine beam tube’ method. Determine e/m from the data.
