उत्तर
Data: λ = 2536 Å = 2.536 × 10-7 m,
λ' = 3650 Å = 3.650 × 10-7 m,
V0 = 1.95 V, V0' = 0.5 V, c = 3 × 108 m/s,
e = 1.6 × 10-19 C
(i) `"V"_0"e" = "hc"/lambda - phi and "V"_0'"e" = "hc"/(lambda') - phi`
∴ `("V"_0 - "V"_0')"e" = "hc" (1/lambda - 1/(lambda '))`
∴ (1.95 - 0.5)(1.6 × 10-19)
= h (3 × 108)`(10^7/2.536 - 10^7/3.650)`
∴ 2.32 × 10-19 = h(3 × 1015)(0.3943 - 0.2740)
∴ h = `(2.32 xx 10^(-34))/0.3609 = 6.428 xx 10^(-34)` J.s
This is the value of Planck's constant.
(ii) `phi = "hc"/lambda - "V"_0"e"`
`= ((6.428 xx 10^-34)(3 xx 10^8))/(2.536 xx 10^-7) - (1.95)(1.6 xx 10^-19)`
`= 7.604 xx 10^-19 - 3.12 xx 10^-19 = 4.484 xx 10^-19`J
`= (4.484 xx 10^-19"J")/(1.6 xx 10^-19 "J"//"eV")`
= 2.803 eV
This the work function of the cathode material.
(iii) Φ = hv0
∴ The threshold frequency, `"v"_0 = phi/"h"`
`= (4.484 xx 10^-19 "J")/(6.428 xx 10^-34 "J.s") = 6.976 xx 10^14` Hz
(iv) `"v"_0 = "c"/lambda_0`
∴ The threshold wavelength, `lambda_0 = "c"/"v"_0`
`= (3 xx 10^8)/(6.976 xx 10^14) = 4.300 xx 10^-7` = 4300 Å
(v) The most likely metal used for emitter: calcium.
