उत्तर १
We know that KEmax = eV0
V0 = 1.5V
= 1.6 × 10-19 × 1.5
= 2.4 × 10-19 J
KE = 2.4 × 10-19 J
उत्तर २
Using Einstein's photoelectric equation,
`("K.E".)_"max" = "hv" - phi = "h"("v" - "v"_@)`
⇒ `("K.E".)_"max" = "h"("v" - "v"_@) = "eV"_@`
Where Vo is the stopping potential.
According to the given data, Vo = 1.5 V
Hence,
`(K.E.)_"max" = "eV"_@ = "e" xx 1.5 "V" = 1.6 xx 10^-19 xx 1.5 "Joules")`
(K.E.)max = 2.4 × 10-19 Joules

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.
