उत्तर
Work function of caesium metal, `phi_0` = 2.14 eV
Frequency of light, v = 6.0 × 1014 Hz
(a) The maximum kinetic energy is given by the photoelectric effect as:
K = hv − `phi_0`
Where,
h = Planck’s constant = 6.626 × 10−34 Js
∴ K = `(6.626 xx 10^-34 xx 6 xx 10^14)/(1.6 xx 10^(-19)) - 2.14`
= 2.485 − 2.140
= 0.345 eV
Hence, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons is 0.345 eV.
(b) For stopping potential V0, we can write the equation for kinetic energy as:
K = eV0
∴ `V_0 = K/e`
= `(0.345 xx 1.6 xx 10^(-19))/(1.6 xx 10^(-19))`
= 0.345 V
Hence, the stopping potential of the material is 0.345 V.
(c) Maximum speed of the emitted photoelectrons = v
Hence, the relation for kinetic energy can be written as:
K = `1/2 mv^2`
Where,
m = Mass of an electron = 9.1 × 10−31 kg
`v^2 = (2K)/m`
= `(2 xx 0.345 xx 1.6 xx 10^(-19))/(9.1 xx 10^(-31))`
= 0.1104 × 1012
∴ v = 3.323 × 105 m/s
= 332.3 km/s
Hence, the maximum speed of the emitted photoelectrons is 332.3 km/s.

The constant A in the Richardson−Dushman equation for tungsten is 60 × 104 A m−2K−2. The work function of tungsten is 4.5 eV. A tungsten cathode with a surface area 2.0 × 10−5 m2 is heated by a 24 W electric heater. In steady state, the heat radiated by the heater and the cathode equals the energy input by the heater and the temperature becomes constant. Assuming that the cathode radiates like a blackbody, calculate the saturation current due to thermions. Take Stefan's Constant = 6 × 10−8 W m−2 K−1. Assume that the thermions take only a small fraction of the heat supplied.
