The work function for the following metals is given:
Na: 2.75 eV; K: 2.30 eV; Mo: 4.17 eV; Ni: 5.15 eV
Which of these metals will not give photoelectric emission for a radiation of wavelength 3300 Å from a He-Cd laser placed 1 m away from the photocell? What happens if the laser is brought nearer and placed 50 cm away?

उत्तर
Mo and Ni will not show photoelectric emission in both cases
Wavelength for a radiation, λ = 3300 Å = 3300 × 10−10 m
Speed of light, c = 3 × 108 m/s
Planck’s constant, h = 6.6 × 10−34 Js
The energy of incident radiation is given as:
`"E" = "hc"/lambda`
= `(6.6 xx 10^(-34) xx 3 xx 10^8)/(3300 xx 10^(-10))`
= 6 × 10−19 J
= `(6 xx 10^(-19))/(1.6 xx 10^(-19))`
= 3.158 eV
It can be observed that the energy of the incident radiation is greater than the work function of Na and K only. It is less for Mo and Ni. Hence, Mo and Ni will not show photoelectric emission.
If the source of light is brought near the photocells and placed 50 cm away from them, then the intensity of radiation will increase. This does not affect the energy of the radiation. Hence, the result will be the same as before. However, the photoelectrons emitted from Na and K will increase in proportion to intensity.
