According to the Bohr model of the atom, an electron undergoes a transition from one orbit that is closer to the nucleus to another which is farther from the nucleus by absorbing a photon whose energy E depends on its frequency f as E = hf, where h is Planck's constant. The energy of 13.6 eV is needed to ionize a hydrogen atom by ejecting an electron from the lowest energy level. What is the longest wavelength of a photon that can eject the electron from the lowest energy level of the atom?

1.  40 nm

2.  60 nm

3.  80 nm

4.  90 nm

In the case of the photoelectric effect -

1. Since photons are absorbed as a single unit, there is no significant time delay in the emission of photoelectrons.

2. Einstein's analysis gives a critical frequency ν0 = eϕh, where ϕ is the work function and the light of this frequency ejects electrons with maximum kinetic energy.

3. Only a small fraction of the incident photons succeed in ejecting photoelectrons while most of them are absorbed by the system as a whole and generate thermal energy.

4. The maximum kinetic energy of the electrons is dependent on the intensity of radiation.

All of the following statements about the photoelectric effect are true Except:

1. the intensity Of the light beam does not affect the photocurrent.

2. the kinetic energies of the emitted electrons do not depend on the light intensity.

3. a weak beam Of light Of frequency greater than the threshold frequency yields more current than an intense beam of light of frequency lower than the threshold frequency.

4. for the light of a given frequency, the kinetic energy of emitted electrons increases as the value of the work function decreases.
