A source S1 is producing 1015 photons per sec of wavelength 5000 Å. Another source S2 is producing 1.02×1015 photons per second of wavelength 5100 Å. Then, (power of S2)/(power of S1) is equal to:
1. 1.00
2. 1.02
3. 1.04
4. 0.98
1. | excitation of electrons in the atoms |
2. | a collision between the atoms of the gas |
3. | collisions between the charged particles emitted from the cathode and the atoms of the gas |
4. | a collision between different electrons of the atoms of the gas |
A \(5~\text W\) emits monochromatic light of wavelength \(5000~\mathring{A}.\) When placed \(0.5~\text m\) away, it liberates photoelectrons from a photosensitive metallic surface. When the source is moved \(1.0~\text m\) away, the number of photoelectrons liberated is reduced by a factor of:
1. \(4\)
2. \(8\)
3. \(16\)
4. \(2\)
Monochromatic light of frequency 6.0×1014 Hz is produced by a laser. The power emitted is 2×10-3 W. The number of photons emitted, on average, by the source per second is:

A photocell employs a photo-electric effect to convert:
1. | change in the frequency of light into a change in electric voltage. |
2. | change in the intensity of illumination into a change in photoelectric current. |
3. | change in the intensity of illumination into a change in the work function of the photocathode. |
4. | change in the frequency of light into a change in the electric current. |
When photons of energy h fall on an aluminium plate (of work function E0), photoelectrons of maximum kinetic energy K are ejected. If the frequency of the radiation is doubled, the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons will be:
