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 \(E_0\). |
The threshold frequency for a photosensitive metal is \(3.3\times10^{14}~\text{Hz}\). If the light of frequency \(8.2\times10^{14}~\text{Hz}\) is incident on this metal, the cutoff voltage for the photoelectric emission will be:
1. | \(1~\text{V}\) | 2. | \(2~\text{V}\) |
3. | \(3~\text{V}\) | 4. | \(5~\text{V}\) |
What did Einstein prove by the photo-electric effect?
1. \(E = h\nu\)
2. \(K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\)
3. \(E= mc^2\)
4. \(E = \frac{-Rhc^2}{n^2}\)
A light of wavelength \(\lambda \) is incident on the metal surface and the ejected fastest electron has speed \(v.\) If the wavelength is changed to \(\frac{3\lambda}{4},\) then the speed of the fastest emitted electron will be:
1. | \(\sqrt{\frac{4}{3}}v\) | smaller than
2. | \(\sqrt{\frac{4}{3}}\)\(v\) | greater than
3. | \(2v\) |
4. | zero |
The work functions for metals \(A,B,\) and \(C\) are respectively \(1.92\) eV, \(2.0\) eV, and \(5\) eV. According to Einstein's equation, the metals that will emit photoelectrons for a radiation of wavelength \(4100~\mathring{A}\) is/are:
1. None
2. \(A\) only
3. \(A\) and \(B\) only
4. All the three metals
1. | \(1.2\) eV | 2. | \(0.98\) eV |
3. | \(0.45\) eV | 4. | \(0\) eV |
An electron with \(144~\text{eV}\) of kinetic energy has a de-Broglie wavelength that is very similar to?

2. \(102\times10^{-4}~\text{nm}\)
3. \(102\times10^{-5}~\text{nm}\)
4. \(102\times10^{-2}~\text{nm}\)
