उत्तर
Einstein’s photoelectric effect equation:
(NOTE: Use any one of three given equations)
hv = φ0 + K.E
where, h = Planck's constant, v = frequency of the incomig photons
φ0 = work function of the material and K.E = kinetic energy of the emitted electrons
or
`hv = phi_0 + 1/2 mv_max^2 `=
where,h = Planck's constant,v = frequency of the incoming photons
φo = work function of the material, 1/2 mv_max^2`kinetic energy of the emitted electrons
Vmax = maximum velocity of emitted electron
or
`1/2 mv_max^2 = h(v - v_o)`
where h = Planck's constant, v = frequency of the incoming photons
vo = threshold frequency, `1/2 mv_max^2= ` kinetic energy of the emitted electrons
vmax = maximum velocity of emitted electron

The frequency and intensity of a light source are doubled. Consider the following statements.

A non-monochromatic light is used in an experiment on photoelectric effect. The stopping potential
A small metal plate (work function φ) is kept at a distance d from a singly-ionised, fixed ion. A monochromatic light beam is incident on the metal plate and photoelectrons are emitted. Find the maximum wavelength of the light beam, so that some of the photoelectrons may go round the ion along a circle.
Consider the situation of the previous problem. Consider the faster electron emitted parallel to the large metal plate. Find the displacement of this electron parallel to its initial velocity before it strikes the large metal plate.

Comment on whether it is consistent with Einstein’s theory:
The photon emitted during the de-excitation from the first excited level to the ground state of a hydrogen atom is used to irradiate a photocathode in which the stopping potential is 5 V. Calculate the work function of the cathode used.
