Question 3.
\nWhat is “work function” ? [T.S. Mar. 17, 15]

\nAnswer:
\nThe de-Broglie wave length (\u03bb) associated with a moving particle is related to its momentum (p) is \u03bb = \\(\\frac{h}{p}=\\frac{h}{m v}\\), where h is planck’s constant.<\/p>\n

Question 8.
\nState Heisenberg’s Uncertainity Principle. [Mar. 14]
\nAnswer:
\nUncertainity principle states that “it is impossible to measure both position (\u2206x) and momentum of an electron (\u2206p) [or any other particle] at the same time exactly”, i.e., \u2206x . \u2206p \u2248 h where \u2206x is uncertainty in the specification of position and \u2206p is uncertainty in the specification of momentum.<\/p>\n

Question 9.
\nThe photoelectric cut off voltage in a certain experiment is 1.5 V. What is the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted ? [Mar. 11]
\nAnswer:

Question 10.
\nAn electron, an \u03b1-particle and a proton have the same kinetic energy. Which of these particles has the shortest de Broglie wavelength ? [T.S. Mar. 15]
\nAnswer:
\nFor a particle,
\nde Broglie wavelength, \u03bb = h\/p
\nKinetic energy, K = p2<\/sup>\/2m
\nThen, \u03bb = h\/\\(\\sqrt{2 \\mathrm{mK}}\\)
\nFor the same kinetic energy K, the de Broglie wavelength associated with the particle is inversely proportional to the square root of their masses.A proton \"AP is 1836 times massive than an electron and an a-particle \\(\\left({ }_2^4 \\mathrm{He}\\right)\\) four times that of a proton.

        Question 1.
        \nHow did Einstein’s photoelectric equation explain the effect of intensity and potential on photoelectric current ? How did this equation account for the effect of frequency of ‘ incident light on stopping potential ?
        \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Einstein postulated that a beam of light consists of small energy packets called photons or quanta.<\/li>\n
        2. The energy of photon is E = hv. Where ‘h1 is Planck’s constant; v is frequency of incident light (or radiation).<\/li>\n
        3. If the absorbed energy of photon is greater than the work function (\u03a60<\/sub> = h\u03c50<\/sub>), the electron is emitted with maximum kinetic energy i.e., kmax<\/sub> = \\(\\frac{1}{2} \\mathrm{mv}_{\\max }^2\\) = eV0<\/sub> = hv – \u03a60<\/sub>. This equation is known as Einstein’s photoelectric equation.<\/li>\n

          \nWhen the intensity (I) of incident light, with frequency greater than the threshold frequency (\u03c5 > \u03c50<\/sub>) is increased then the number of photoelectrons emitted decreases i.e., the value of photoelectric current (i) increases, ie., i \u221d I.

                b) For a photoelectric device to operate, we require incident light energy E to be equal to or greater than the work function \u03a60<\/sub> of the material. Thus, the photoelectric device will operate with violet light (with E = 3.19 eV) photosensitive material Na (with \u03a60<\/sub> = 2.75 eV), K (with \u03a60<\/sub> = 2.30 eV) and Cs (with \u03a60<\/sub> = 2.14 eV). It will also operate with yellow-green light (with E = 2.26 eV) for Cs (with \u03a60<\/sub> = 2.14 eV) only. However, it will not operate with red light (with E = 1.64 eV) for any of these photosensitive materials.<\/p>\n

                Question 4.
                \nWhat is the de Broglie wavelength associated with (a) an electron moving with a speed of 5.4 \u00d7 106<\/sup> m\/s, and (b) a ball of mass 150 g travelling at 30.0 m\/s ?
                \nSolution:
                \na) For the electron :
                \nMass m= 9.11 \u00d7 10-31<\/sup> kg, speed \u03c5 = 5.4 \u00d7 106<\/sup> m\/s. Then, momentum
                \nP = m\u03c5 = 9.11 \u00d7 10-31<\/sup> (kg) \u00d7 5.4 \u00d7 106<\/sup> (m\/s)
                \nP = 4.92 \u00d7 10-24<\/sup> kg m\/s
                \nde Broglie wavelength, \u03bb = h\/p
                \n= \\(\\frac{6.63 \\times 10^{-34} \\mathrm{~J} \\mathrm{~s}}{4.92 \\times 10^{-24} \\mathrm{~kg} \\mathrm{~m} \/ \\mathrm{s}}\\)
                \n\u03bb = 0.135 nm<\/p>\n

                b) For the ball:
                \nMass m’ = 0.150 kg, speed \u03c5’ = 30.0 m\/s.
                \nThen momentum
                \np’ = m’\u03c5’ = 0.150 (kg) \u00d7 30.0 (m\/s)
                \np’ = 4.50 kg m\/s
                \nde Broglie wavelength \u03bb’ = h\/p’.
                \n= \\(\\frac{6.63 \\times 10^{\\pm 34} \\mathrm{Js}}{4.50 \\times \\mathrm{kg} \\mathrm{m} \/ \\mathrm{s}}\\)
                \n\u03bb’ = 1.47 \u00d7 10-34<\/sup> m
                \nThe de Broglie wavelength of electron is comparable with X-ray wavelengths. However, for the ball it is about 10-19<\/sup> times the size of the proton, quite beyond experimental measurement.<\/p>\n

                Question 5.
                \nAn electron, an a-particle and a proton have the same kinetic energy. Which of these particles has the shortest de Broglie wavelength ? [T.S. Mar. 15]
                \nSolution:
                \nFor a particle,
                \nde Broglie wavelength, \u03bb = h\/p
                \nKinetic energy, K = p2<\/sup>\/2m
                \nThen, \u03bb = h \/\\(\\sqrt{2 \\mathrm{mK}}\\)
                \nFor the same kinetic energy K, the de Broglie wavelength associated with the particle is inversely proportional to the square root of their masses. A proton \\(\\left({ }_1^1 \\mathrm{He}\\right)\\) is 1836 times massive than an electron and an a-particle \\(\\left({ }_2^4 \\mathrm{He}\\right)\\) four times that of a proton
                \nHence, \u03b1-particle has the shortest de Broglie wavelength.<\/p>\n

                \"AP<\/p>\n

                Question 6.
                \nA particle is moving three times as fast as an electron. The ratio of the de Broglie wavelength of the particle to that of the electron is 1.813 \u00d7 10-4<\/sup>. Calculate the particle’s mass and identify the particle.
                \nSolution:
                \nde Broglie wavelength of a moving particle, having mass m and velocity \u03c5 :
                \n\u03bb = \\(\\frac{\\mathrm{h}}{\\mathrm{p}}=\\frac{\\mathrm{h}}{\\mathrm{mv}}\\)
                \nMass, m = h\/A.
                \nFor an electron, mass me<\/sub> = h\/\u03bbe<\/sub> \u03c5e<\/sub>
                \nNow, we have \u03c5\/\u03c5e<\/sub> = 3 and
                \n\u03bb\/\u03bbe<\/sub> = 1.813 \u00d7 10-4<\/sup>
                \nThen, mass of the particle,
                \nm = me<\/sub> \\(\\left(\\frac{\\lambda_{\\mathrm{e}}}{\\lambda}\\right)\\left(\\frac{v_{\\mathrm{e}}}{v}\\right)\\)
                \nm = (9.11 \u00d7 10-31<\/sup> kg) \u00d7 (1\/3) \u00d7 (1\/1.813 \u00d7 10-4<\/sup>)
                \nm = 1.675 \u00d7 10-27<\/sup> kg.
                \nThus, the particle, with this mass could be a proton or a neutron.<\/p>\n

                Question 7.
                \nWhat is the de Broglie wavelength associated with an electron, accelerated through a potential difference of 100 volts? [A.P. Mar. 15]
                \nSolution:
                \nAccelerating potential V = 100 V The de Broglie wavelength \u03bb is
                \n\u03bb = h\/p = \\(\\frac{1.227}{\\sqrt{\\mathrm{V}}}\\) nm
                \n\u03bb = \\(\\frac{1.227}{\\sqrt{100}}\\) nm = 0.123 nm
                \nThe de Broglie wavelength associated with an electron in this case is of the order of X-ray wavelengths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
