Find the maximum frequency of X-rays produced by 30 kV electrons.
Quarks inside protons and neutrons are thought to carry fractional charges [(+2/3)e; (–1/3)e]. Why do they not show up in Millikan’s oil-drop experiment?
Would you prefer a material with a high work-function or a low work-function to be used as a cathode in a diode?
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 wave associated with a moving particle of mass 3 × 10–6 g has the same wavelength as an electron moving with a velocity 6 × 106 ms–1. The velocity of the particle is
Emission of electrons by the absorption of heat energy is called ____________ emission.
In which case is electron emission from a metal not known?
Consider Figure for photoemission.

How would you reconcile with momentum conservation? Note light (photons) have momentum in a different direction than the emitted electrons.
The work function of a metal is 2.31 eV. Photoelectric emission occurs when the light of frequency 6.4 × 1014 Hz is incident on the metal surface. Calculate
- the energy of the incident radiation,
- the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electron and
- the stopping potential of the surface.
