A \(5\) W emits monochromatic light of wavelength \(5000~\mathring{A}\). When placed \(0.5\) m away, it liberates photoelectrons from a photosensitive metallic surface.
When the source is moved \(1.0\) m away, the number of photoelectrons liberated is reduced by a factor of?
1. \(4\)
2. \(8\)
3. \(16\)
4. \(2\)
1. | moves with one-fourth of energy as that of the initial energy. |
2. | moves with one-fourth of momentum as that of the initial momentum. |
3. | will be half in number. |
4. | will be one-fourth in number. |
Consider a beam of electrons (each electron with energy \(E_0)\) incident on a metal surface kept in an evacuated chamber. Then:
1. | no electrons will be emitted as only photons can emit electrons. |
2. | electrons can be emitted but all with energy, \(E_0\) |
3. | electrons can be emitted with any energy, with a maximum of \(\mathrm{E}_0-\phi\) (\(\phi\) is the work function). |
4. | electrons can be emitted with any energy, with a maximum \(E_0\). |
