    Question 1
    CBSEENPH12039408

    Why are infra-red waves often called heat waves? Explain.

    Solution

    Infrared waves produced from hot bodies. Hence, it often called heat waves.

    Question 2
    CBSEENPH12039409

    What do you understand by the statement, 'Electromagnetic waves transport momentum'?

    Solution

    When electromagnetic waves hit the body the mass is lost by the momentum is conserved. i.e., transferred from Electromagnetic waves to the body.

    Question 3
    CBSEENPH12039410

    If light of wavelength 412.5 nm is incident on each of the metals given below, which ones will show photoelectric emission and why?

    Metal Work Function (eV)
    Na 1.92
    K 2.15
    Ca 3.20
    Mo 4.17

    Solution

    A metal will show photoelectric emission in below situation:
    E ≥ work function
    Now according to the relation below:

    E = hv = hcλ (J) = hcλe (eV) = 6.6 x 10-34 x 3 x 108412.5 x 10-9 x 1.6 x 10-19E = 3 ev

    The work function of k and Na are less than the incident energy of the photon. Hence, only potassium (k) and Sodium (Na) will show photoelectric emission.

    Question 11
    CBSEENPH12039711

    The maximum number of possible interference maxima for slit-separation equal to twice the wavelength in Young’s double-slit experiment is

    • infinite

    • five

    • three

    • zero

    Solution

    B.

    five

    For interference maxima, d sin θ = nλ Here d = 2λ
    ∴ sin θ = n/2 and is satisfied by 5 integral values of n (−2, −1, 0, 1, 2), as the maximum value of sin θ can only be 1.

    Question 12
    CBSEENPH12039712

    An electromagnetic wave of frequency ν = 3.0 MHz passes from vacuum into a dielectric medium with permittivity ε = 4.0. Then

    • wavelength is doubled and the frequency remains unchanged

    • wavelength is doubled and frequency becomes half

    • wavelength is halved and frequency remains unchanged

    • wavelength and frequency both remain unchanged.

    Solution

    C.

    wavelength is halved and frequency remains unchanged

    In vacuum, ε0 = 1
    In medium, ε = 4
    So, refractive index
    straight mu space equals space square root of straight epsilon divided by straight epsilon subscript 0 end root
space equals space square root of 4 divided by 1 end root space equals space 2
wavelength space straight lambda to the power of apostrophe space equals space straight lambda over straight mu space equals space straight lambda over 2
and space wave space velocity space straight v equals space straight c over straight mu space equals straight c over 2
    Hence, it is clear that wavelength and velocity will become half but frequency remains unchanged when the wave is passing through any medium.

    Question 13
    CBSEENPH12039734

    According to Einstein’s photoelectric equation, the plot of the kinetic energy of the emitted photo electrons from a metal Vs the frequency, of the incident radiation gives straight line whose slope

    • depends on the nature of the metal used

    • depends on the intensity of the radiation

    • depends both on the intensity of the radiation and the metal used

    • is the same for all metals and independent of the intensity of the radiation.

    Solution

    D.

    is the same for all metals and independent of the intensity of the radiation.


    Einstein's photoelectric equation is
    K.E.max = hv − φ ............... (i)
    The equation of line is
    y = mx + c .............. (ii)
    Comparing above two equations m = h, c = - φ
    Hence, the slope of the graph is equal to Planck's constant (non-variable) and does not depend on the intensity of radiation.

    Question 19
    CBSEENPH12040143

    When the light of frequency 2v0 (where v0 is threshold frequency), is incident on a metal plate, the maximum velocity of electrons emitted is v1. When the frequency of the incident radiation is increased to 5v0, the maximum velocity of electrons emitted from the same plate is v2. The ratio of v1 to v2 is

    • 1:2

    • 1:4

    • 2:1

    • 4:1

    Solution

    A.

    1:2

    Using Einstein's photoelectric equation,

    E =W0 + kmax

    When light of frequency, 2v0 is incident on a metal plate,

    h(2vo) = hvo + 12mv12hv0 = 12mv12 ..... (i)

    When light of frequency, 5v0 is incident on a metal plate

    h(5v0) = hv0  + 12 mv22

    hv0 = 12 mv22 .... (ii)

    Dividing equ (i) and (ii)

    14 = v12v22 v1v2 = 12

    Question 20
    CBSEENPH12040152

    White light is used to illuminate two slits in Young's double slit experiment. The separation between the slits is b and the screen is at a distance d (>>b) from the slits. At a point on the screen directly in front of one of the slits, which wavelengths are missing?

    • bd, b3d, b5d

    • b22d, b23d, b26d

    • b2d, b23d, b25d

    • b2d, b3d, b6d

    Solution

    C.

    b2d, b23d, b25d

    The situation is shown in the figure,

    The path difference between the waves reaching the point P is

    p = BP - AP = (d2 + b2)1/2 - d = d1 + b2d21/2 -d  d1 + 12b2d2 -d = b22dFor a dark band  p = b22d = (2n -1)λ2where, n = 1, 2, 3 or λ =1(2n-1).b2dHence, the missing wavelengths are b2d, b23d, b25d

    Question 21
    CBSEENPH12040153

    The wavelength λ of  a photon and the de-Broglie wavelength of an electron have the same value. Find the ratio of the energy of a photon to the kinetic energy of an electron in terms of mass m, the speed of light c and Planck constant.

    • λmch

    • hmcλ

    • 2hmcλ

    • 2λmch

    Solution

    D.

    2λmch

    The de-Broglie wavelength

    h = hmv  v = h ... (i)

    Energy of photon

    Ep = hcλ (since λ  is same) ..(ii)

    Energy of photon

    The kinetic energy of photon

     = EpEe = hc/λ12mu2 = 2hcλ mv2

    Substituting value of c from Eq (i), we get

    EpEe = 2hcλm h2 = 2λmch

    Question 22
    CBSEENPH12040156

    A beam of light composed of red and green rays is incident obliquely at a point on the face of a rectangular glass slab. When coming out on the opposite parallel face, the red and green rays emerge from.

    • Two points propagating in two different non- parallel directions.

    • Two points propagating in two different parallel directions

    • one point propagating in two different directions.

    • one point propagating in the same direction.

    Solution

    B.

    Two points propagating in two different parallel directions

    We know that in any medium except vacuum or air, the velocities of different colours are different. Therefore, both red and green colours are refracted at different, angles of refraction. So, after emerging from glass slab through opposite parallel faces, they appear at two different points an move in two different parallel directions.

    Question 23
    CBSEENPH12040159

    An isotropic point source of light is suspended h metre vertically above the centre of the circular table of radius r metre. Then, the ratio of illumenances at the centre to that at the edge of the table is

    • 1 + r2h2

    • 1 + h2r2

    • 1 + r2h23/2

    • 1 + h2r23/2

    Solution

    C.

    1 + r2h23/2

    According to the question, the situation is shown in the figure below,

    E1 = I(LO)2 = Ih2 ... (i)

    The illumination at the edge A is given by

    E2 = I cos θ(LA)2 = I cos θ(h2 + r2) .... (ii)From figure, cos θ = h(h2 + r2) E2 = Ih(h2 + r2)3/2Dividing eq (i) by eq (ii), we getE1E2 = I/h2Ih/(h2+r2)3/2 = (h2+ r2)3/2h3 = (h2+ r2)3/2h2 = 1 + r2h23/2

     

    Question 24
    CBSEENPH12040171

    A photocell is illuminated by a small bright source placed 1m away. When the same source of light is placed 2m away, the electrons emitted by photo cathode

    • Carry one quarter of their previous energy

    • carry one quarter of their previous momenta

    • are half as numerous

    • are one quarter as numerous

    Solution

    D.

    are one quarter as numerous

    I  1d2

    When the source is placed 2m away, then I' = I/4. The number of electrons emitted is directly proportional to intensity. Hence, the number of emitted electrons is reduced to one-fourth.

    Question 25
    CBSEENPH12047700

    If work function of a metal is 4.2 eV, the cut off wavelength is

    • 8000 Ao

    • 7000 Ao

    • 1472 Ao

    • 2950 Ao

    Solution

    D.

    2950 Ao

    The minimum energy needed by an electron to come out from a metal surface is called the work function of the metal.

    Suppose the cutoff wavelength is represented by λo.

    So, hcλo =work function=Wohcλo=4.2 ×1.6×10-19λo =6.6×10-34×3×1084.2×1.6×10-19  =2946×10-10 m λo  =2950 Ao

    Question 26
    CBSEENPH12047701

    The work function of sodium is 2.3 eV. The threshold wavelength of sodium will be

    • 2900 Ao

    • 2500 Ao

    • 5380 Ao

    • 1200 Ao

    Solution

    C.

    5380 Ao

    Here Work function 

    Wo =23 eV =2.3 × 1.6 × 10-19 J

    Where λo is the wavelength

    for sodium.

    Wo =hcλo λo =hcWoλo =6.6 × 10-34 × 3 × 1082.3 × 1.6 × 10-19     =5380  × 10-10 m      =5380 Ao

    Question 27
    CBSEENPH12047706

    The minimum wavelength of X-ray emitted by X-ray tube is 0.4125 Ao. The accelerating voltage is

    • 30 kV

    • 50 kV

    • 80 kV

    • 60 kV

    Solution

    A.

    30 kV

    From the formula

    e V =hcλV =h ce λ  =6.6×10-34×3×1081.6×10-19×0.4125×10-10 =30 × 103 volt =30 kvolt

    Question 28
    CBSEENPH12047713

    The light rays having photons of energy 1.8 eV are falling on a metal surface having a work function 1.2 eV. What is the stopping potential to be applied to stop the emitting electrons?

    • 3 eV

    • 1.2 eV

    • 0.6 eV

    • 1.4 eV

    Solution

    C.

    0.6 eV

    The stopping potential depends on the kinetic energy of the electrons, which is affected only by the frequency of incoming light and not by its intensity.

    The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron
    (KE)max = E - Φ  =1.8-1.2
                =  0.6  eV
    i.e   eVo = (KE)max

    or    eVo = 0.6 eV

    ∴ Stopping potential Vo = 0.6 V

    Question 29
    CBSEENPH12047728

    A light passing through air has wavelength 6000 Ao. The wavelength when same ray passes through a glass slab of refractive index 1.5 will be:

    • 2000 Ao

    • 4000 Ao

    • 8000 Ao

    • 1200 Ao

    Solution

    B.

    4000 Ao

    When the light ray passes through a glass slab, then new wavelength 

    λ' = λμ    =60001.5   = 4.5 Ao

    Question 30
    CBSEENPH12047732

    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 which will emit photoelectrons for a radiation length 4100 Ao is /are 

    • none

    • A only

    • A and B only

    • all the three metals

    Solution

    C.

    A and B only

    That metal will emit photoelectrons which has work function lower than that obtained with the radiation of 4100 Ao.

    Work function for the wavelength of 4100 Ao is

    W = h cλ    =6.62 × 10-14 × 3 ×1084100 × 10-10    = 4.8 × 10-19 J     = 4.8 × 10-191.6 × 10-19 eVW  = 3 eV

    Now we have 

    WA = 1.92 eV

    WB = 2.0 eV

    WC = 5 eV

    since WA < W  and  WB < W,  hence A and B will emit photoelectrons.

    Question 31
    CBSEENPH12047733

     The nuclei of which one of the following pairs
    of nuclei are isotones ?

    • Se 7434,  Ga 7131

    • Mo 9242,  Zr 9240

    • Sr 8438,  Sr 8638

    • Ca4020,  S 3216

    Solution

    A.

    Se 7434,  Ga 7131

    The nuclei which have same number of neutrons but different atomic number and mass number are known as isotones. In choice (a) nuclei of Se7434  and  Ga7131 are isotones as

    A - z = 74 - 34 = 71 - 34 =71 - 31 = 40

    Question 32
    CBSEENPH12047736

    The ratio of the dimensions of Planck's constant and that of the moment of inertia is the dimension of

    • frequency

    • velocity

    • angular momentum

    • time

    Solution

    A.

    frequency

    h - Planck's constant

    E - Energy of photon

    E =  h = Eν = M L2 T -2T -1            = M L2 T -1

    And I = moment of inertia = MR2

    I = M L2 = ML2Hence ,hI = M L2T -1T -1        =   T -1         = 1T dimension of frequency

    Alternative method:-

    hI =EνI       = E × TI =kg m2/s2 × skg m2       = 1s = 1time = freauency

    Thus dimension of h/I is same as frequency.

    Question 33
    CBSEENPH12047737

    A photosensitive metallic surface has work function, h vo, If photons of energy 2hvo, fall on this surface, the electrons come out with a maximum velocity of 4 x 106 m/s. When the photon energy is increased to 5 hv,, then maximum velocity of photoelectrons will be

    • 2 × 106 m/s

    • 2 × 107 m/s

    • 8 × 105 m/s

    • 8 × 106 m/s

    Solution

    D.

    8 × 106 m/s

    The solution to our problem consists in Einstein's photoelectric equation. 

    Einstein's photoelectric equation can be written as

    12 mv2 =  - ϕ12m×4 × 1062 = 2o - o            ...(i)and 12×m × v2 = 5 o- o                  ......ii

    Dividing equation (ii) by eq (i)

    ν24 × 1062 = 4oo ν2 = 4 × 16 × 1012 v2 = 64  × 1012ν = 8  ×  106 m/s

    The efficiency of photoelectric effect is less than 1 o .ie, number of photons less than 1 % are capable of ejecting photoelectrons.

    Question 34
    CBSEENPH12047778

    Hard X-rays for the study of fractures in bones should have a minimum wavelength of 10' m. The accelerating voltage for electrons in X-ray machine should be

    • < 124 kV

    • > 124 kV

    • between 60 kV and 70 kV

    • = 100 kV

    Solution

    A.

    < 124 kV

    From conservation of energy the kinetic energy of electron equals the maximum photon energy (we neglect the he work function ϕ because it is normally so small compared to eVo ). 

           eVo = h vmax

             eVo = hcλmin Vo = hcmin Vo = 12400 × 10-1010-11

                     = 124 kV

    Hence, accelerating voltage for electrons in X-ray machine should be less than 124 kV.

    Question 35
    CBSEENPH12047779

    In photoelectric effect, the electrons are ejected from metals if the incident light has a certain minimum

    • wavelength

    • frequency

    • amplitude

    • angle of incidence

    Solution

    B.

    frequency

    In photoelectric effect for a given photosensitive material, there exists a certain minimum cut-off frequency, called the threshold frequency, below which no emission of photoelectrons takes place no matter how intense the light is.

    Question 36
    CBSEENPH12047781

    A leaf which contains only green pigments, is illuminated by a laser light of wavelength 6328 pm. It would appear to be

    • brown

    • black

    • red

    • green

    Solution

    B.

    black

    If an object reflects the colour of light incident on it, it will appear with that colour but if object absorbs the colour of light, it will appear to be black. since the given wavelength does not belong to green, so it will be absorbed by the leaf and hence, it would appear to be black.

    Question 37
    CBSEENPH12047784

    Flash light equipped with a new set of batteries, produces bright white light. As the batteries wear out

    • the light intensity gets reduced with no change in its colour

    • light colour changes first to yellow and then red with no change in intensity

    • it stops working suddenly while giving white light

    • colour changes to red and also intensity gets reduced

    Solution

    D.

    colour changes to red and also intensity gets reduced

    As batteries wear out, temperature of filament of flash light attains lesser value, therefore intensity of radiation reduces. Also dominating wavelength (λm ) in spectrum, which is the red colour, increases.

    Question 38
    CBSEENPH12047785

    If alpha, beta and gamma rays carry same momentum, which has the longest wavelength?

    • Alpha rays

    • Beta rays

    • Gamma rays

    • None all have same wavelength

    Solution

    D.

    None all have same wavelength

    On the basis of dual nature of light, Lious de-Broglie suggested that the dual nature is not only of light, but each moving material particle has the dual nature.

    He assumed a wave to be associated with each moving material particle which is called the matter wave. The wavelength of this wave is determined by the momentum of the particle. If p is the momentum of the particle, the wavelength of the wave associated with it is

                                         λ = hp 

    Where h is Planck's constant.

    Since it is given that alpha, beta and gamma rays carry same momentum, so they will have same wavelength.

    Question 39
    CBSEENPH12047807

    The kinetic energy of an electron, which is accelerated in the potential difference of 100 V, is

    • 1.6 × 10-17 J

    • 1.6 × 10-14 J

    • 1.6 × 10-10 J

    • 1.6 × 10-8 J

    Solution

    A.

    1.6 × 10-17 J

    The energy transferred to electrons is e V joules. So each electron gains kinetic energy equal to the amount of energy transferred from the electrical supply. The electron starts from rest ( near enough ) so the Kinetic energy gained is given by 1 / 2 mv2 where m is the mass of electron and v is speed.

    KE = e V

        = 1.6 × 10-19 × 100

    KE = 1.6 × 10-17 J

    Question 40
    CBSEENPH12047827

    Light of frequency v falls on material of threshold frequency vo, Maximum kinetic energy of emitted electron is proportional to 

    • ν - νo

    • ν

    • v - vo

    • vo

    Solution

    A.

    ν - νo

    When light falls on a metallic surface, ejection of photoelectron results. In this process, conservation
    of energy holds.

    Thus, from the  law of conservation of energy,

    Energy imparted by the photon 

                 = Maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electron + work function of the metal

    ⇒   hv = (KE)max  + ϕ

    but ϕ = o  being threshold frequency.

    ∴          KEmax = hv - hvo

    ⇒          (KE)max ∝ v - vo

    Question 41
    CBSEENPH12047831

    Which one of the following graph represents the variation of maximum kinetic energy (Ek) of the emitted electrons with frequency v in photoelectric effect correctly?         

                     

    Solution

    D.

    According to photoelectric equation

               Ek = hv - hvo               ....... (i)

    If the energy of photon ( hv ) is less than the work function ( hvo ) of metallic surface, then
    electrons will never be ejected from surface regardless of intensity of incident light.

    Also from equation (i) when v = vo , Ek = 0

    ∴ Graph (d) represents variation of Ek with v.

    Question 42
    CBSEENPH12047832

    A vessel of height 2 d is half filled with a liquid of refractive index 2  and the other half with a liquid of refractive index n (the given liquids are immiscible). Then, the apparent depth of the inner surface of the bottom of the vessel (neglecting the thickness of the bottom of the vessel) will be

    • nd n + 2

    • d n + 2n 2

    • 2 nd n + 2

    • ndd + 2n

    Solution

    B.

    d n + 2n 2

    The depth of the image of an object submerged in a transperent medium; it is reduced from the real depth of the object by a factor equal to the relative index of refraction of the medium with respect to air.

    Refractive index μ = Real depth (d)Apparent depth (x)

    For 1st liquid 

                 2 = dx1

    ⇒            x1d2

    Similarly, for 2nd liquid,

                   n = dx2

    ⇒             x2dn

    Total apparent depth = x1  + x2

                                   = d2 + dn

                                    = d n + 2n 2

    Question 43
    CBSEENPH12047840

    Light travels faster in air than that in glass. This is accordance with

    • wave theory of light

    • corpuscular theory of light

    • neigther (a) nor (b)

    • Both (a) and (b)

    Solution

    A.

    wave theory of light

    Light's speed in vaccum is the fastest it can go. However in air and glass photons occasionally bounce off other particles so the photons do not travel in a straight line; they have travel further than they would in vacuum so they appear to travel slower.

     Wave theory of light predicted that light could reflect off shiny surfaces, react or bend when moving from the material into another, and diffract (or spread ) around objects or moving through slits.

    Light travels faster in air than that in glass. This is accordance with wave theory of light.

    Question 44
    CBSEENPH12047859

    The work function for metals A, Band C are respectively 1.92  eV,  2.0 eV and 5 eV. According to Einstein's equation the metals which will emit photo, electrons for a radiation of wavelength 4100 Ao is/are

    • none

    • A only

    • A and B only

    • All the three metals

    Solution

    C.

    A and B only

    Work function for wavelength of 4100 Ao is

              W = h cλ 

              W = 6.63 × 10-34 × 3 × 1084100 × 10-10

              W = 4.8 × 10-19 J

              W = 4.8 × 10-19 1.6 × 10-19 eV

              W = 3 eV

    Now we have,

            WA = 1.22 eV

            WB = 2.0 eV

            WC = 5 eV

    Since WA < W and WB < W hence A and B will emit photoelectrons. 

    So only metals having a work function less than 3 eV can emit photoelectrons for the incident of wavelength 4100 Ao.

    Question 45
    CBSEENPH12047863

    If the sun rays are incidenting at 60° angle and intensity is I. If the sun rays are made incident at 30° angle, then what will be the intensity?

    • I3

    • 3 l

    • 3 l

    • l3

    Solution

    B.

    3 l

    Ratio of intensities  I1I2 = cos θ1cos θ2

                                     = cos 60ocos 30o

                               I2 = 3 I1

    Question 46
    CBSEENPH12047866

    Relation between wavelength of photon and electron of same energy is

    • λph > λe

    • λph < λe

    • λph = λe

    • λeλph = constant

    Solution

    A.

    λph > λe

    According to DeBroglie Wavelength

    Wavelength λ =  hcp

                          = hc2 m E

    ∴                λ ∝ 1m

    Mass of photon is less than that of electron.

     Wavelength of photon is greater than that of electron λph > λe

    Question 47
    CBSEENPH12047877

    Work function of a metal is 5.2 x 10-18, then its threshold wavelength will be

    • 736.7 Ao

    • 760.7 Ao

    • 301 Ao

    • 344.4 Ao

    Solution

    D.

    344.4 Ao

    Work function W = hcλ

     h is  Planck's constant

     λ  is wavelength 

     c is the speed of light in vacuum

    ⇒              λ = hcW

    ⇒                 = 6.6 × 10-34 ×3 ×1085.26 × 10-18

     ⇒            λ  = 344.4 Ao

    Question 48
    CBSEENPH12047896

    In photoelectric effect, the number of photo-electrons emitted is proportional to

    • velocity of incident beam

    • frequency of incident beam

    • intensity of incident beam

    • work function for cathode material

    Solution

    C.

    intensity of incident beam

    By increasing the intensity of incident beam, the number of emitted photo-electrons can be increased. Hence, number of photo-electrons emitted is proportional to the intensity of the incident beam.

    Question 49
    CBSEENPH12047915

    The graph 1λ and stopping potential (V) of three metals having work function ϕ1 , ϕ2 and  ϕ3 in an experiment of photoelectric effect is plotted as shown in the figure. Which one of the following statement is/are correct? [Here λ is the wavelength of the incident ray ]

         

    (i) Ratio of work functions  ϕ1  :  ϕ2  :  ϕ3 = 1 : 2 : 4

    (ii) Ratio of work functions ϕ1 :  ϕ2  : ϕ3 = 4 : 2 : 1

    (iii) tanθ ∝ h ce, where h = Planck's constant, c = speed of light

    (iv)The violet colour-light can eject photoelectrons from metals 2 and 3

    • (i), (iii)

    • (i), (iv)

    • (ii), (iii)

    • (i), (ii) and (iv)

    Solution

    A.

    (i), (iii)

    According to Einstein photoelectric equation,

           E = Kmaxϕ

            h cλ = ϕ + eVs

    ∴     Vs hcλ - ϕ  1e

       Vs versus 1λ graph is a straight line.

        Slope 

               tanθ = h ce

      The curves intersect the 1λ axis, where Vs is zero

    ∴   h cλ - ϕ = 0

    ⇒   1λ = ϕh c

    For metal 1

          ϕ1h c = 0.001

    For metal 2

           ϕ2hc = 0.002

    For metal 3

             ϕ3hc = 0.004

    ∴   ϕ1 : ϕ2 : ϕ3 = 1 : 2 : 4

    For metal 1

        λO1 = hcϕ = 10.001 = 1000 nm

    For metal 2, threshold wavelength,

         λO2 = hcϕ = 10.002 = 500 nm

    Simillarly, 

          λO3 = hcϕ = 10.004 = 250 nm

              λvoilet = 400 nm

     For metal 1     

        λvoilet < λthreshold

      For metal 3 

               λvoilet >  λthreshold

    Question 50

    • 5.92 x 1017 / m2 s

    • 2.23 x 1017 / m2 s

    • 2.23 x 1018 /m2 s

    • 5.92 x 1018 /m2 s

    Solution

    B.

    2.23 x 1017 / m2 s

    Given:-

        λ = 500 nm = 500 x 10-9 m

    Radiation power P = 10 W

    As     P = no h cλ

             noP λhc                            ......(i)

    where, no is number of photons per second.

         

    At distance r from point source, number of photons/area/time

           n' = no4π r2

           n' = P λhc. 4πr2                         [ from eq. (i) ]

               = 10 × 500 × 10-96.6 × 10-34 × 3 × 108 × 4π 32

               = 2.23 × 1017 m/s

    Question 51
    CBSEENPH12047955

    Light of two different frequencies whose photons
    have energies 1 eV and 2.5 eV respectively, successively illuminate a metallic surface whose work function is 0.5 eV. Ratio of maximum speeds of emitted electrons will be

    • 1 : 4

    • 1 : 1

    • 1 : 5

    • 1 : 2

    Solution

    D.

    1 : 2

    According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons is

             Kmax = h ν  - ϕ0

    where hu is the energy of incident photon and ϕ0 is the work function.

        Kmax = hv - ϕ0

    ∴   12 mvmax2  = hv - ϕ0

    As per question

         12 mvmax2 = 1eV - 0.5 eV

                      = 0.5 eV               ....(i)

    and 12 mvmax2 = 2.5 eV - 0.5 eV

                      = 2 eV                ......(ii)

    Dividing eqn. (i) by eqn. (ii), we get

         vmax12vmax22 = 0.5 eV2 eV

                  = 14

       vmax1vmax2 = 14

       vmax1vmax2 = 12

    Question 53
    CBSEENPH12047981

    Which of the following has the longest de Broglie wavelength if they are moving with the same velocity?

    • Neutron

    • Proton

    • α-particle

    • β-particle

    Solution

    D.

    β-particle

    de Broglie wavelength

                 λ = hmv

    ⇒           λ  ∝ 1m                 (where v is constant)

    ⇒          mα > mn  > mp  > mβ

    ∴            λα < λn < λp < λβ 

    Therefore, β-particle has the longest de Broglie wavelength.

    Question 55
    CBSEENPH12048004

    de-Broglie wavelength associated with a ball of mass 1 kg having kinetic energy 0.5 J is

    • 6.63 × 10-30 m

    • 6.63 × 10-34 m

    • 1.32 × 10-33 m

    • 1.32 × 10-34 m

    Solution

    B.

    6.63 × 10-34 m

    The de-Broglie equation is an equation used to describe the wave properties matter, specifically the wave nature of the electron as given below           

    de-Broglie wavelength is given by

              λ =hmv =  hp  

    Where  λ  is wavelength

               h - Plankck's constant

              λ  = h2 m K

    Here m = 1 kg, K = 0.5 J

             h = 6.63 × 10-34 Js

                    Find λ = ?

                   λ = 6.63 × 10-342 × 1 × 0.5

                   λ = 6.63 × 10-34 m

    Question 56
    CBSEENPH12048022

    Photoelectric effect supports quantum nature of light because

    • there is minimum frequency of light below which no photoelectrons are emitted

    • the maximum energy of photoelectron depends only on the frequency of light and not on its intensity

    • photoelectric effect is an instantaneous process

    • all the above choices are correct

    Solution

    D.

    all the above choices are correct

    The three experimental facts listed under (a), (b) and (c) cannot be explained on the basis of wave theory of light. All these facts support the quantum (photon) nature of light.
