उत्तर

Given:
Range of wavelengths, `λ_1` = 400 nm to `λ_2` = 780 nm

Planck's constant, `h = 6.63 xx 10^-34  "Js"`

Speed of light, `c = 3 xx 10^8  "m/s"`

Formula:

Energy of photon,

`E = hv`

`v = c/λ`

`therefore E = hv = (hc)/λ`

Calculation:

Energy `(E_1)` of a photon of wavelength `(λ_1)`: 

`E_1 = (hc)/λ_1`

= `(6.63 xx 10^-34 xx 3 xx 10^8)/(400 xx 10^-9)`

= `(6.63 xx 3)/4 xx 10^-9`

= `4.97725 xx 10^-19`

= `5 xx 10^-19  "J"`

Energy `(E_2)` of a photon of wavelength `(λ_2)`: 

`E_2 = (6.63 xx 3)/7.8 xx 10^-19`

= `2.55 xx 10^-19  "J"`

So, the range of energy is `2.55 xx 10^-19  "J"` to `5 xx 10^-19  "J"`.

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.


Define the term "cut off frequency" in photoelectric emission. The threshod frequency of a metal is f.
