प्रश्न
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.
(Use h = 6.63 × 10-34J-s = 4.14 × 10-15 eV-s, c = 3 × 108 m/s and me = 9.1 × 10-31kg)

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"`

In an experiment on photoelectric effect, the emitter and the collector plates are placed at a separation of 10 cm and are connected through an ammeter without any cell. A magnetic field B exists parallel to the plates. The work function of the emitter is 2.39 eV and the light incident on it has wavelengths between 400 nm and 600 nm. Find the minimum value of B for which the current registered by the ammeter is zero. Neglect any effect of space charge.
