उत्तर
For a given Photosensitive material, there is a certain minimum cut off frequency at which Photoelectric emission is possible is called Threshold frequency, i.e. At this frequency just emission of photoelectrons happens without giving them any kind of additional energy. Higher the work function of the material, greater is the Threshold frequency.

The work function of the following metals is given : Na 2.75 ev, K = 2.3 eV, Mo = 4.17 eV and Ni = 5.15 eV. Which of these metals will not cause photoelectric emission for radiation of wavelength 3300 Å from a laser source placed 1 m away from these metals? What happens if the laser source is brought nearer and placed 50 cm away?
An isolated metal sphere is heated to a high temperature. Will it become positively charged due to thermionic emission?
A diode value is connected to a battery and a load resistance. The filament is heated, so that a constant current is obtained in the circuit. As the cathode continuously emits electrons, does it become more and more positively charged?
Why does thermionic emission not take place in non-conductors?
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.
If a light of wavelength 330 nm is incident on a metal with work function 3.55 eV, the electrons are emitted. Then the wavelength of the wave associated with the emitted electron is (Take h = 6.6 × 10–34 Js)
Emission of electrons by the absorption of heat energy is called ____________ emission.
Why do metals have a large number of free electrons?
Consider Figure for photoemission.
How would you reconcile with momentum conservation? Note light (photons) have momentum in a different direction than the emitted electrons.
Name the factors on which photoelectric emission from a surface depends.
