उत्तर
Given :-
Wavelength of light, λ = 500 nm
Planck's constant, `h = 6.63 xx 10^-34 "J-s"`
Momentum of a photon of light ,
`p = h/ λ`
`= (6.63 xx 10^-34)/(500 xx 10^-9)`
`= 6.63/5 xx 10^-27`
`= 1.326 xx 10^-27`
`= 1.33 xx 10^-27 "kg"-m"/"s`

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.
| The figure shows the variation of photoelectric current measured in a photocell circuit as a function of the potential difference between the plates of the photocell when light beams A, B, C and D of different wavelengths are incident on the photocell. Examine the given figure and answer the following questions: |
- Which light beam has the highest frequency and why?
- Which light beam has the longest wavelength and why?
- Which light beam ejects photoelectrons with maximum momentum and why?
- Assertion (A): For the radiation of a frequency greater than the threshold frequency, the photoelectric current is proportional to the intensity of the radiation.
- Reason (R): Greater the number of energy quanta available, the greater the number of electrons absorbing the energy quanta and the greater the number of electrons coming out of the metal.
What is the effect of threshold frequency and stopping potential on increasing the frequency of the incident beam of light? Justify your answer.
