उत्तर
Frequency of the incident photon, v = 7.21 × 1014 Hz
Maximum speed of the electrons, ν = 6.0 × 105 m/s
Planck’s constant, h = 6.626 × 10−34 Js
Mass of an electron, m = 9.1 × 10−31 kg
For threshold frequency v0, the relation for kinetic energy is written as:
`1/2 mν^2 = h(v - v_0)`
`v_0 = v - (mν^2)/(2h)`
= `7.21 xx 10^14 - ((9.1 xx 10^(-31) ) xx (6 xx 10^(5))^2)/(2 xx (6.626 xx 10^(-34)))`
= 7.21 × 1014 − 2.472 × 1014
= 4.738 × 1014 Hz
Therefore, the threshold frequency for the photoemission of electrons is 4.738 × 1014 Hz.

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.
What is so special about the combination e/m? Why do we not simply talk of e and m separately?
Define the term "cut off frequency" in photoelectric emission. The threshod frequency of a metal is f.
