प्रश्न
A silver ball of radius 4.8 cm is suspended by a thread in a vacuum chamber. Ultraviolet light of wavelength 200 nm is incident on the ball for some time during which light energy of 1.0 × 10−7 J falls on the surface. Assuming that on average, one photon out of every ten thousand is able to eject a photoelectron, find the electric potential at the surface of the ball, assuming zero potential at infinity. What is the potential at the centre of the ball?
(Use h = 6.63 × 10-34J-s = 4.14 × 10-15 eV-s, c = 3 × 108 m/s and me = 9.1 × 10-31kg)

उत्तर
Given:-
Radius of the silver ball, r = 4.8 cm
Wavelength of the ultra violet light, λ = 200 nm = 2 × 10−7 m
Total energy of light, E = 1.0 × 10−7 J
We are given that one photon out of every ten thousand is able to eject a photoelectron.
Energy of one photon,
`E^' = (hc)/lambda`,
where h = Planck's constant
c = speed of light
`lambda` = wavelength of light
On substituting the respective values in the above formula, we get :
`E^' = (6.63 xx 10^-34 xx 3 xx 10^8)/(2 xx 10^-7)`
`=9.945 xx 10^-19`
Number of photons,
`n = E/E^' = (1 xx 10^-7)/(9.945 xx 10^-19) = 1 xx 10^11`
Number of photoelectrons
= `(1 xx 10^11)/10^4 = 1 xx 10^7`
The amount of positive charge developed due to the outgoing electrons,
`q = 1 xx 10^7 xx 1.6 xx 10^-19`
`= 1.6 xx 10^-12 C`
Potential developed at the centre as well as on surface,
`V = (Kq)/r`,
where K = `1/(4piε_0)`
`therefore V = (9 xx 10^9 xx 1.6 xx 10^-12)/(4.8 xx 10^-2) = 0.3 V`
Potential inside the silver ball remains constant. Therefore, potential at the centre of the sphere is 0.3 V.

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.
