Write Einstein’s photoelectric equation?

Advertisements

उत्तर

Einstein’s photoelectric effect equation:

(NOTE: Use any one of three given equations)

hv = φ0 + K.E

where, h = Planck's constant, v = frequency of the incomig photons

φ0 = work function of the material and K.E = kinetic energy of the emitted electrons 

or

`hv = phi_0 + 1/2 mv_max^2 `=

where,h = Planck's constant,v = frequency of the incoming photons

φo = work function of the material, 1/2 mv_max^2`kinetic energy of the emitted electrons 

Vmax = maximum velocity of emitted electron

or

`1/2 mv_max^2 = h(v - v_o)`

where h = Planck's constant, v = frequency of the incoming photons 

vo = threshold frequency, `1/2 mv_max^2= ` kinetic energy of the emitted electrons

vmax = maximum velocity of emitted electron

In an experiment on the photoelectric effect, the slope of the cut-off voltage versus the frequency of incident light is found to be 4.12 × 10−15 Vs. Calculate the value of Planck’s constant.


Define the terms (i) ‘cut-off voltage’ and (ii) ‘threshold frequency’ in relation to the phenomenon of photoelectric effect.

Using Einstein’s photoelectric equation shows how the cut-off voltage and threshold frequency for a given photosensitive material can be determined with the help of a suitable plot/graph.


Is p − E/c valid for electrons?


The frequency and intensity of a light source are doubled. Consider the following statements.

(A) The saturation photocurrent remains almost the same.
(B) The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is doubled.


The electric field at a point associated with a light wave is `E = (100  "Vm"^-1) sin [(3.0 xx 10^15 "s"^-1)t] sin [(6.0 xx 10^15 "s"^-1)t]`.If this light falls on a metal surface with a work function of 2.0 eV, what will be the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons?

(Use h = 6.63 × 10-34J-s = 4.14 × 10-15 eV-s, c = 3 × 108 m/s and me = 9.1 × 10-31kg)


A small metal plate (work function φ) is kept at a distance d from a singly-ionised, fixed ion. A monochromatic light beam is incident on the metal plate and photoelectrons are emitted. Find the maximum wavelength of the light beam, so that some of the photoelectrons may go round the ion along a circle.


In a photoelectric experiment, the collector plate is at 2.0 V with respect to the emitter plate made of copper (φ = 4.5 eV). The emitter is illuminated by a source of monochromatic light of wavelength 200 nm. Find the minimum and maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons reaching the collector.


Choose the correct answer from given options
Photons of frequency v are incident on the surface of two metals A and B of threshold frequency 3/4 v and 2/3 v, respectively. The ratio of maximum kinetic energy of electrons emitted from A to that from B is


  1. In the explanation of photo electric effect, we assume one photon of frequency ν collides with an electron and transfers its energy. This leads to the equation for the maximum energy Emax of the emitted electron as Emax = hν – φ where φ0 is the work function of the metal. If an electron absorbs 2 photons (each of frequency ν) what will be the maximum energy for the emitted electron?
  2. Why is this fact (two photon absorption) not taken into consideration in our discussion of the stopping potential?

A student performs an experiment on photoelectric effect, using two materials A and B. A plot of Vstop vs ν is given in Figure.

  2. Given the electric charge of an electron = 1.6 × 10–19 C, find the value of h obtained from the experiment for both A and B.
